10 Years!

My anniversary surprise for Russell: a gift for each of the years we have been married. All wrapped up and ready for him when he came downstairs today.

Each of the gifts had a tag with the numbers one through ten on them.

On the back of the tags were significant events that took place during that year for us. Things such as places we lived and worked, pregnancies, trips, miscarriages, vehicles we got, and some church callings, etc.

I think Russ was pretty surprised. I could hardly sleep last night from excitement! I couldn't wait for him to see and open all his gifts. (They were mostly practical gifts, like a lunch box, t-shirts, grilling utensils, and some other things.)

I do have to say that these last ten years have flown by. So cliche, I know, but they truly have. It is difficult to explain. We have been together for a long time. It seems like we have always been together, yet it is still amazing to think that it really has been 10 years! We have had some wonderful times together. We have had challenges and difficulties, we have had fun and laughter and we have come out the better for it. I am so blessed to be married to such an amazing man.
