Today we are celebrating our 10th anniversary, 10 years, we are that old that we are celebrating a mile marker anniversary! I have spent a third of my life married to Joe, it will take a couple more years for Joe to say that, but we will make that too.
We were married May 13, 2000 we honeymooned both in Park City, UT and the Oregon Coast.
Our first anniversary we went to his brother wedding for our anniversary with Joe's Dad riding in the back of our car.
Our second anniversary we celebrated with our 6th month old baby boy Bradley I also graduated from college a month later. Joe and walked together in graduation and Joe finished the following winter.
Our third anniversary we celebrated at Mt. Rushmore on our way to Omaha while Joe looked for a job. Joe found a job in June of that year with the same employer he is employed with now. We found out that we were pregnant with Kyle right before our 3rd anniversary.
Our fourth anniversary we celebrated with our 2 1/2 year old and 5 month old in our first home and our new home. They went to bed early and we had a nice dinner. Joe started his MBA this year.
Our fifth anniversary we celebrated by getting a hotel for the night in downtown Omaha. We walked around the old market and had a wonderful time just the two of us.
Our sixth anniversary we celebrated with our 2 boys with the third coming in August. I made dinner and we watched a movie.
Our seventh anniversary I surprised Joe with a trip to Kansas City to watch the Seattle Mariners take on the Kansas City Royals for baseball. We had fun at the baseball game and walked around an outdoor mall for a bit before returning home.
Our eighth anniversary we went to Olive Garden for dinner. We were expecting our fourth boy in beginning of July and I felt like I was ready to bust already. Joe finished his MBA in February of that year, shortly before our ninth anniversary.
Our ninth anniversary we learned we could no longer play the put the kids to bed early and have a romantic dinner, so we sat down in the dining room and had dinner with our kids. They loved it! After they went to bed we put a movie in and both fell asleep on the couch. We had just sold our first home and moved into our second home. We got a puppy a week after our anniversary.
Our tenth anniversary is today we will be eating steak with our boys tonight, they are super excited! Next week however we are taking a 4 day 3 night trip down to Branson, MO. We are really excited, we are looking forward to being able to spend some time just the two of us. My parents will be watching the 4 boys.

You'll have to tell us how your trip went. We've been talking about taking a family trip there this summer. Have a great day!
LUCKY!!!! (That's said in my best Napoleon Dynamite voice)
I remember our ninth anniversary. We took the kids to Legoland in Carlsbad, CA. It was fun! :) I don't remember our tenth...ha ha ha. Have fun in Branson.
Happy Anniversary! How fun to be taking a trip by yourselves.
Our 10th is next year and I'm looking forward to our vacation sans kids!
Yeah that is exciting. I can't believe that you remember what you did for each anniversary. That is impressive! Have a good trip!
How fun to go to Branson! I love that you remember each anniversary.
Branson Missouri? Have you turned my son in to a country music fan? Wow, I'm not sure I can claim him now. Congratulations on 10 years!
Congratulations! A whole decade. What an amazing memory you have. We are celebrating 25 years this year and I can barely remember what we did last year...what did we do?
You have had so many memorable anniversaries. I remember our 50th. We went to Hawaii first and spent a week with Brian and Julie and the second beach on Waikiki. Then we went to California and Patty and Aron surprised us by taking us to Disneyland. We had lunch at Walt Disney's previous house that is a membership place only to eat now. Then Disneyland was so full that they had to stop selling tickets. We decided to go to the adjacent Disney Experience or something like that and we really had fun. Aron's parents took care of Joshua and Jaeden while we were gone. Then the next summer we celebrated at Aspen Grove with our kids and grandkids, went to the American Fork Temple with all 7 kids and had our family photo taken at Aspen Grove. See what you have to look forward to?
