10 years ago today....

Wow, when I look at this picture it does still seem like today was my Special Wedding Day! When I think of 10 years ago this very minute I was going to my Bridal Luncheon at The Back Porch. It was a perfect way to start the perfect day. In June that year it rained every Saturday except for that day. Jeff had been on a Harley Poker Run that morning with some friends and in this picture, I was a little nervous because he hadn't shown up yet! His motorcycle ran out of gas and I believe he had to hitch a ride with his bestman, Shane Lewis. When he arrived I could see him and his groomsman from this window. Someone had tapped the KEG (probably WD) no one would admit it when I asked. Jeff was a little sun burned from his afternoon on the Harley but we would probably think something was wrong with him if he didn't have those rosy red cheeks. Afterall, he works out side every day!

One reason our marriage thrives to this day is we are still best friends. If I could've molded someone that would fit me best, it would be him. I was so independent growing up and hard headed so I never really had boyfriends just friends that were boys. Thanks to having a wonderful older brother, Josh's friends were my brothers too. Jeff was no different. His XCEL crew soon became my brothers too and living here in Amarillo on my own, just felt like this was exactly where I was supposed to be and exactly who I was supposed to fall in love with. He was and still is my other half.

Today we celebrate 10 years of marriage with two beautiful kids, two beautiful dogs and two beautiful horses. Counting our blessings is easy, after all 2 is better than 1!
