Today is DH's and my tenth anniversary! It is so hard to imagine that we have been married for 10 years already. It seems like just yesterday that we were preparing to get married and I would move to Brandon, MB where DH had been since May so that we could work in our first church. So much has happened since then - friends made, people we worked with, two places we lived, three churches we worked in and now a new one that we are happy to call home. We have travelled to Mexico twice - one on a mission and one a vacation. We travelled throughout New Zealand and some of Australia. We have been to BC numerous times and kayaked a lot of the area around Egmont and yesterday some of the waters near Desolation Sound. We have hiked many trails, in BC, Alberta and Manitoba. We have camped in numerous places - in one awesome tent! We have a son who is amazing , who we marvel at every day! He is incredible and the very best of the both of us combined!
And then there is my husband, who I have been through all of this with. There has been good times and bad times - though many more good times. I am so thankful that of all the men in the world who potentially could have been my husband, God gave him to me. I was telling DH yesterday that I have experienced so much more that this life has to offer, and have tried so many more things and seen so more of this world God created because of him. He stretches me and though I may resist at the time, or not entirely look forward to it, I enjoy it when it is happening and look back at it with fond memories.
DH makes me laugh and we enjoy life together. I never laugh so much as when I am with him.
He makes me see things through a different lens at times and it helps me grow. I appreciate that. I think I would be quite content to stay stagnant and never work to grow intellectually or spiritually if not for the challenges that DH issues to me, ones to think about as well as to do.
I am so very, very thankful for my hubby. I love you, M and am looking forward to many more decades with you!

congrats on 10 years!!
Happy anniversary you two! I remember you wedding like it was yesterday. I remember it because I was the first of the guys in the wedding party to come on the stage and I was very concerned about fainting. I also remember that Mike looked quite dapper and confident and that you looked radiant. It was an exciting, joyous day and I wish many more for you two. Take care!

Congratulations! We had our 10th Anniversary this year too. Where does the time go? :) I wish you both many more happy and adventurous years together.
Happy Anniversary!!! I remember Mark coming back to Gimli from your wedding and saying how happy you two were and how Rayna looked "ravishing"! Personally, I think you guys look even better now! Here's to decade after decade of wedded bliss!
