Today Ben and I have been married for ten years….
Here are ten things you may or may not know about us….
1. We got married young (he was 18, I was 19) 1999
2. Our first *date* was at my mom’s house when my dad was out of town. Ben came over for dinner my mom made and we went to a play with my mom and sisters. (Poor guy… 4 girls! That was when we knew he was awesome! )
3. We courted for 6 months.
4. We were engaged for 3 months.
5. Ethan was born the week before our first year Anniversary!
6. We bought our first house a month before our second anniversary.
7. He asks me why I married him and I say simply, ” You wooed me” Women want to be treated like princesses! That’s the secret!
8. I ask him why he married me and he says, I love you! (Hence why he wooed me, hehe)
9. We have 5 children earth-side, almost 6. 2 children in heaven that we know of.
10. We love our lives, and wouldn’t change a thing. We feel very blessed, beyond what we deserve. And we know that this year will bring even more blessings and new beginnings!
Thank you all who have been a part of our lives in the last ten years, supporting our love and watching us grow and learn to love more and more.
well at least from a youtube video! that isn’t someone related to me! hehe
by the end of this year I want to laugh more… smile lots and do them both without thinking… :)
that our dream home will be complete without a glitch by the end of the year…
Gena just said APPLE! :D i love it! hehe made my pretty rotten day… an AWESOME day!
the secret to your kids having school done by 830am!?
the Wii!!!!
(this mama is hopeful this will last more than a week! ha! )
The house plans have been put on a complete hold. The rooms were not as big as I had thought. with furniture it just won’t work…. no point in having the same problems I have now. We’ve considered adding on two sides… but at so much more cost.
Even building new is alot….. maybe more than we want… IDK…. I’m feeling shocked… after nearly a year of planning and creating a floor plan that I felt was perfect…. it just isn’t…. when you are designing your own house design it around the furniture you want…. lol….
All hope is not lost…. we just aren’t sure what to hope… It’s hard to put more money here… .but staying here means putting more money here to make it work better for us… that’s what most people do anyway right? just make do……….. :)
I am thankful for all the things my husband has done to this beautiful house! It’s huge and more than a lot of people have… and it’s home…. will get busy making it more of what we can live with until something changes…. what else can you do?!
