What A Difference 10 Years Make

Ten years ago tonight I was having the time of my life.  Rick and I were married that Saturday afternoon.  I think the look on my face tells it all.  I thought I would burst with joy. 

As a tribute to our marriage I got 10 rose bushes for our yard.  I told Rick the roses are beautiful like our life together over the last 10 years and the thorns are to remind us that we get prickly sometimes.  He laughed and said they seemed appropriate.  

I have not posted the last couple of days because my youngest co-worker has had Strep Throat. 
My oldest co-worker reached into my purse while in the doctors office and started shooting pictures.  They both use my camera and it is funny when I find close up photos of each other's mouths and stones on the ground.  Mr. Zach is feeling better and will be going to school tomorrow :)

Do you know what this is?  It is hail!!  We had a bad storm roll through and I was away from home.  Rick ran out and grabbed a piece of hail and put it in the freezer.  The next morning the boys were thrilled to see their "hail" still in the freezer.....and it is still in there now.  I just glad they did not put a critter in there....the joy of boys :)
Isn't this a lovely postcard?  I think it is so great.  Anya, HillsCreekQuilter, sent it to me after she received her prize from the Anniversary Celebration.  Thank you Anya!!!

Smiles,
Kelly

  1. Happy Anniversary. The stars aligned when you and Rick met and eventually married. And, when Aaron and Zach came into your lives.

    Love knowing you planted 10 rose bushes for your yard in honor of your Anniversary. What a great idea!

  2. Oh Kelly, you are so beautiful! Happy anniversary! You are just a newlywed compared to old me! We are nearing 22 years of marriage this year.

    And your poor little guy looked so sick! I am glad to hear he is feeling better.

  5. Happy Anniversary to you and Mr. McSteamy!! How ironic that you have your wedding picture followed with one of you and a sick kiddo! See what happens?!?!? But isn't it wonderful....

    Hope the little guy is feeling better so you can catch up a little, and love the postcard!!

  12. The good (anniversary) always seems to come with bad (illness), and you appear to be handling it well. And hey, isn't it nice to see you still get blog comments, even without prizes?!?

  17. Happy anniversary, Kelly! A great life partner is one of those gifts you have to be thankful for every day--except of course on those "prickly" days. Hope your little guy completes his journey to wellness without any difficulties.

  19. Happy Anniversary, As for Boys, mine used to have things follow him home and then with sad puppy dog eyes would ask can I keep him. And to think I used to wonder why I would find crumbs from his lunch in his pockets, think that had anything thing to do with being followed.... LOL
