Ten Years

Derek and I just celebrated our ten year anniversary yesterday. Ten years! I can't believe it has been that long, and on the other hand it seems like a lifetime ago. Looking back on where we were ten years ago, and where we are now- it is pretty amazing..... In those ten years we have........

Adopted three girls
given birth to four children
gone through three Iraq deployments
lived in Oklahoma
lived in Virginia
moved back to Washington
bought a house
dealt with the loss of my brother
moved to Hawaii

All within ten years. I am excited to see what the next ten years will be like, hopefully a little more calm then the first ten, but I doubt it! We are the family that we are today because ten years ago we made a commitment to each other and to God. All blessings have come from Him. Here's to ten more!
