The Big 10

Terry and I celebrated 10 years of marriage on August 25th!! I can’t believe we’ve been married that long!

Back in the day

Me & mom *sniff*

 

10 years later…

We had dinner at The Roof, which is where Terry took me before he proposed. We had the neatest experience! The day we were married, Elder Dallin H. Oaks was also married the same day and in our room. It was taking so long they had to move our family to a different room in the temple. He passed us in the hall after his ceremony, and we thought it was so neat to see him! Fast forward 10 years, and who do we see at the restaurant? Elder Oaks!! He was there with his wife celebrating their anniversary. We told him the story, and he was so thrilled! I thought it was the coolest thing :)

 

This is where Terry proposed! Just behind the tabernacle

    

Terry, simply put, you’re the best. In 10 years we accomplished all our goals that we set out to do. I made it through hygiene school, and you made it through pharmacy school. You are the hardest worker I have ever met. I am able to stay home with our boys because you work so hard for us. Our boys have such a wonderful father! I love you so much. I hope the next 10 years are as good as the last 10 have been!

 

5 months old!

Evan turned 5 months old on the 9th! Here’s what we’ve been up to:

Bear chair picture

Lots of hugs from brother

Lots of sleeping in the bouncer

Lots of hugs and playtime with cousins

We visited Wheeler Historic Farm, but it was a HUGE disappointment. Of course we picked the hottest and most humid day to go, but it was a snoozer of a place. Not much to do but walk around in dirt and smell pig poop, but Deacon still looked cute by this wagon.

Evan was loving being out of the car seat

We rewarded Deacon with ice cream for being such a trooper

Evan has found his voice and is squawking like a bird all the time!

I also looked up the meaning of Evan’s name (yeah, I didn’t know it before I picked the name; I’m a bad mom!) I was surprised to learn that it means “God is gracious”. I think that is so fitting considering what happened while I was pregnant with him. Heavenly Father HAS been gracious with him. He is healthy and happy and we couldn’t be happier to have him in our family. We love you, little bunny!
