Ok, so my friend Abby encouraged me to start blogging more..so I think I'll take her advice. :) Jeremy and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary yesterday. Wow...crazy how fast time went by yet how much happened in 10 years! For the past month we have looked at every place on the planet to see if we could afford a trip somewhere to celebrate our milestone..but unfortunately it just wasn't it the cards for us this time. So I asked my mom if she would take the kids for a night so we could have a night alone...I was thinking "since we don't have much money even just to be at our house by ourselves with a couple movies would be great". Well apparently my hubby has something more up his sleeve! He has been doing some side jobs and stashing away the money..granted it wasn't enough to plan a big trip on, but enough to treat his lady! :) I didn't know he had the money. So I got this really sweet email on friday morning giving me some instructions to pack a few things..nothing I could put together enough to figure out where we were going. So we left with all 5 of us in tote to go to Medford to drop off the kids. On our way, he hands me an envelope with #1 on it....I open it and it has 60.00 in it with a note to head to the mall and buy a new outfit for our date. Wow!! That is like Gold in a girls' hands!!!! :) I was so excited. So after I got some clothes, I got envelope #2 telling me to go to where books are "noble" and get a coffee there as well with a 20 dollar bill enclosed. So needless to say, there were 7 envelopes in all....ranging from staying at a B&B in Jacksonville, to seeing Avatar in 3D and a REALLY nice dinner amongst other things. I have to say, we may not be rich in our wallets...but I am super richly blessed with a husband who adores and loves me like no other!!! Truly I was praising God today for him. He is such a gift to me! What a wonderful way to celebrate our milestone together!! Couldn't have been any better.

Awwhh!!!! That is soo awesome sounds truly wonderful to me!!! Love you guys and a very hardy HAPPY ANIVERSARY!!!!!!!!
Dear Kristal and Jeremy, It was such an encouragement to here of your anniversary celebration. I thought of the verse that no greater thing than a man lay down his life for a friend. The words that stood out to me were LOVE LIFE and FRIEND. You guys are a blessing.
Love Aunt Wendy
Thanks Aunt Wendy!! You are a blessing too....I agree with you though. Our marriage has been such a testimony to God's goodness and faithfulness. We don't deserve such a blessing, but He truly has been gracious and I am eternally grateful!! My husband does lay down his life constantly and I love him all the more for that. It inspires me to do the same! Love you!! Thanks so much for the comment!
Kristal, I didn't know you had a blog! Just finding it now! I love this, what a sweet hubby you have! Sounds like the perfect anniversary! I remember hearing your proposal story, when we were all just babies! He is so good with surprising you!
