HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

Today, my husband and I celebrate 10 years of marriage. WOW! I can't believe it has been 10 years already. Sometimes it feels like longer but really, I can't believe it.

We met at church when we were 13 and 14. We started dating in March of 1997. We got engaged in August of 1997 and we already knew what day we were going to marry on. It was a surprise to my mom. They (our church) video taped her reaction when they told her we got engaged and that the wedding date was already chosen. We married on May 23, 1998 on a beautiful day. It wasn't too hot or too cold. I just recently watched our wedding video and it makes me laugh now. I was terrified to stand in front of over 100 people. Eugene was all smiles. Not me, I had the look of terror on my face. Like I said, funny now, not then. One thing I stand to be proud of is that we waited for our wedding night to give ourselves to each other. I was in no way shape or form a floosy in school. I'm still proud of that. I was ready some where recently that only like 2% of the married couples now wait until the wedding night to loose their virginity. I am sooooo proud to be in that low percentage. ( : My husband jokes and says that he's embarassed about it. Goofy.

We planned on having children 1 year after we got married but it just didn't work out that way. We got busy with our jobs and then planned on waiting a little longer. 6 1/2 years later, we got pregnant with our pride and joy Linus. I think about it sometimes that we should not have waited that long but I firmly believe that Linus came in God's timing not ours. I still would like to add another joy to our lives but my husband has other feelings. I hope to get him to agree with me sometime soon. ( :

Eugene,
You are the light of my life. We may not always agree but we always agree to disagree. My life is so much more meaningfull now that you are in my life. Linus is probably the proudest thing I have ever made with you. He is sooooo beautiful. Thank you for him. Without you, I would have noone to watch sappy movies with. ( I know you hate it but you watch it with out complaining to much). I honestly can't see myself with anyone else but you. I thank God for you everyday for without Him, We wouldn't be where we are today.

I love you,
Kelly
