>10 Years Baby!

Wow! Where has the time gone? I can not believe we’ve been married 10 years! I think we found one way to avoid the 7 year itch, because time has flown by! It seems like only yesterday I was anxiously waiting for the musicians to stop playing EVERY verse of the bridesmaid’s song (there was some confusion and it was VERY uncomfortable…I think everyone thought I was a run away bride and they were just stalling 🙂 Eventually the music ended and I was able to finally meet my man at the end of the aisle. We had no idea at that time what the Lord had in store for our family. What a journey it has been! When I meet people for the first time I like to tell them I’m 34, married for 10 years, have 7 children ranging in age from 15-1 from 5 different fathers……always opens the door for me to share about adoption 🙂

Cole and I were able to get away for a long weekend for our 10th anniversary (thanks mom and dad). We went to the White Barn Inn in Maine and had wonderful weather, food, and fun! It’s not often that we have many quiet moments together unless it’s after the kids are in bed and by then I’m pretty close to passing out myself. It was nice to drive around and enjoy some romantic meals together while having conversations that weren’t interrupted by the kids. However, after enjoying a few days of quiet and relaxation, we were both ready to return to our big, loud and crazy family! We missed their hugs, kisses and laughter!
