Last month we celebrated 10 years of being married. As the saying goes...time flies when you're having fun.

It's amazing all that we've done in those 10 years...we've gone through several cars, lived in two different homes (right next door but hey), bought our own house and started fixing it up, both earned our master's degrees, paid off all of our education, we both made career changes, half a dozen shore vacations, and on and on.

There have been the different "obsessions" that have entertained us and probably our families... gardening, and growing/canning an insane amount of tomatoes was one. Cooking crazy hard recipes...like french onion soup and homemade pasta. We both went on health kicks where we did crazy amounts of running/swimming and exercising. Including one year when I ran two marathons. There was the era when somehow I let Russ teach me how to ride a motorcycle and then thought it would be a good idea to own my own. (That didn't last long) The Simpsons were huge for awhile...but now we don't watch that at all. There was a list of 100 movies that Russ worked his way through for awhile. Attending lots of our friends weddings...sometimes being in them. Then there was France...ah France.

Now (and the last 4+ years) of course it's our small super cute kids-- and knitting and model aviation when we can sneak it in.

Really, these 10 years have been almost all good stuff. And when there was some bad stuff, we managed to get through it together ok.

I'm really looking forward to the next 10 years(and the next, and the next, and the next...) I'm sure it will be pretty "kid focused" but that's tons of fun too. So...here's to us.
