TEN, 10, the big 1-0

I remember in our first year of marriage, a man in our Broomfield, CO ward said to me, "Enjoy this time because tomorrow you will turn around and you will have been married for 14 years." I couldn't see it then, but now I sit here amazed that 10 years have passed before my eyes.

• married on March 22, 1997 in the Bountiful Utah Temple
• honeymooned in Newport, RI
• moved 9 times so far
• have three kids
• 2 cars
• a house in Laurel, MD

All this in ten years!! Amazing time keeps on tick'n! I have been lucky to be married to such a wonderful man, who supports me in the things that I do and loves me despite my downfalls. I love you Alan! Happy Anniversary!

We decided that we would go back to where we honeymooned for our 10th Anniversary. Leslee Boss, Alan's stepmother came and watched the kids for us. Thanks Leslee! We drove the 7 1/2 hour trip up to RI. It was amazing. It was like we were there yesterday! Everything looked the same. We stayed right on the Bay in Jamestown and were able to see all of Newport as well as the bridge. We didn't have Internet access (which Alan and I didn't know if we could live without) and no responsibilities. It was a lot of fun, we read, went out to eat, went sight seeing, walked along the ocean, watched movies, drove around, went to Boston and Salem, MA for the afternoon. Most of all we enjoyed relaxing and not having to wake up in the morning! We love the ocean as you can tell by all of the pics.
