Somehow, today is our 10 year anniversary. Time flies when you're having fun! I still remember that day, a decade ago, very clearly. One of my best, for sure. I still wonder how I was so lucky to get Matt as mine, but I'm so glad I did.
It seems that every anniversary, we look back in awe at the year we had, the crazy things that we went through and things that happened, and proclaim it the "craziest year ever". But this year, this one takes the cake, no questions.
In times like we've experienced these past few months, it would have been easy to pull away from each other, to draw apart. But through the crazy, there was never anyone I wanted more than Matt, no one who could calm me quicker, who I could let it all out to. And through all the tears and the crazy (it's not everyday a guy has to drag his wife to the ER!) he has never made me doubt how much he loves me. He has been there every step of the way. And as I continue to have struggling moments, he's still the one I turn to, to hold me and reassure me.
I could not have found a more perfect match for myself. 4 kids, job loss, new jobs, miscarriage, drama of all kinds, surgeries and injuries, busy callings, and on and on. We've been through a lot in our decade together, and there's only more to come. Through it all, I am so glad to have Matt by my side.
Happy 10 years, babe. They've been wonderful.

What a sweet post. I loved reading through it. You have had a crazy 10 years! Happy Anniversary! Love you guys!!
Carolyn ~ I still remember visiting your guys when Matt was on his mission. The day we were there, you were writing him letters and baking cookies!
From the beginning, you seemed to sure of your love for him even though you were young, you had such assurance that you were meant to be a couple.
I admired your love then and still do although the time has passed so quickly.
You had a sort of faithfulness to him and each other long before you were even married. I don't think you know what a strong person you are ~ deep down inside of your heart.
You are absolutely the best wife and mother and I am proud that I was able to see your love for each other develop through the years even from afar...and these sweet children who have joined you to make such a wonderful family.
Happy Anniversary! Blessings and love to you both.
P.S. I am really loving your blog and being able to share your life through your stories about this most interesting journey... (((❤)))
