Happy 10th Anniversary!

Today is our 10th Anniversary!   Every day I count my lucky stars and thank the good Lord for bringing you into my life, Reggie.  I couldn’t ask for a more loving, patient, warm, funny, creative, intelligent, talented man to stand by my side, holding my hand, and enjoying this crazy adventure !  Time seems to have flown by in some ways, and, here we are today with two handsome little guys of our own and sharing this life we have created for us.  Thank you for being an amazing role model to our children, for showing me what love and happiness truly means, and for introducing me to new things that I may never have tried without your encouragement, like guacamole, hot sauce….and photography.   You are such a bright light in this world, and I love you more and more each day.  I’m excited to celebrate with you and our sweet boys today!  Happy Anniversary, honey!!!  I love you so much!

We happen to share this special anniversary day with my parents too!  Mom and Dad, Happy 49th Anniversary to you!!!  We love you both so much!!!

It’s hard to believe that 10 years ago today we were married in our beautiful church, Holy Cross, among our family and friends.  It was a chilly, misty April day, and I vividly remember welcoming the cooler temperature as I walked from the back of the church building to the grand front doors.  A few guests were still arriving as I waited there. We hadn’t seen each other yet that day, and yet I knew you were right there, on the other side of those wooden doors with your Mom.  I remember hearing the music play before walking down the aisle.  And then it was my turn to walk through the doors, arm in arm with my Mom and Dad, as we walked down the aisle to see you!  You looked so handsome!  We listened to the readings that we had chosen and to the words from our officiant.  We greeted friends and family during the Sign of Peace.  And our hands shook and we giggled as we lit our Unity Candle.  We walked hand in hand down the aisle, lined with candles and flowers, until we reach the church doors, where our driver was waiting with his umbrella.  We hopped in the antique car, a 1953 Rolls Royce, and drove off!  It was a beautiful day, and just the beginning of so many more beautiful days together!  Cheers to us!
