Cheers to 10 Years!!

10 (short) years ago, while driving away from my house, off on one of our many dates that summer, in his green pick up truck, a boy turned to me and asked me to be his girlfriend. 

I said 'yes' in one of my best decisions yet.

There's something so sweet about growing up beside the man who once made you late for curfew, jumped over your Mom's flower bed so he wouldn't be late picking you up, has seen you through your tumultuous teen years, held your hair through the college years and now looks at you with tenderness as he calls you his wife.

Today we celebrate 2 years of marriage, but that small number doesn't quite do our relationship justice, it was 10 years ago that a shy girl said 'yes' to an anxious boy. They could've never guessed that 10 years later, they would still be side by side, stronger and more in love than ever.

Here's a look at our 10 years together....(some years were prettier than others!)
