Today we celebrated our ten year anniversary.
Usually we would have liked to celebrate with a trip to somewhere with a beach, but with little man only being 4 months old, figured we’d postpone a trip until next year.
So our every-five-year-picture-in-a-picture was a boring shot in our backyard.
And as a tradition, I didn’t buy any gifts or a card (as cards are an expensive waste of someone else’s words) but wrote a poem in Melody’s book of cards.
Happy 10 Year Anniversary!
Did you know that we’ve been married for 521 weeks / 315 million seconds?
Time for a poem to celebrate 🙂
Ten years ago it was a day
straight from heaven
We got to celebrate with our
friends in 2007
Nine years ago we
adjusted to married life,
we lived on a college campus
as husband and wife
Eight years ago we
bought something new
a new car for us
that definitely wasn’t blue
Seven years ago we
moved to the city
that place in Galena
sure was pretty
Six years ago we
moved out ‘west’
so far I can say
I like this house best
Five years ago we
took a trip to paradise
the hiking and the beaches
certainly were nice
Four years ago we
went to Spain and more
lugged suitcases around
and wished to stay on the first floor
Three years ago we
got ready for baby one
before kids, remember
how much we could get done?
Two years ago we
had fun with our first baby
oh that time was a delight,
but she was such a crybaby
One year ago we
were in Spain on a fun trip
we explored a lot on planes,
trains, busses but not a ship
Now it’s time to
celebrate year number ten
I can believe how much
has happened since then
Junk stores, blogs, and
speaking gigs oh my
I’m excited to see the other
things that will make the years pass by
Thank you for being
on this journey with me
maybe on our 20th
we can spend it in Hawaii
One thought on “10 Years!”
