Jeremiah and I have been married 10 years today, hard to believe. I guess the years before we had Isaac seemed to go by slowly, but then we had a baby, and another, and another, and another, and time went into warp speed. The years that we want to slow down and cherish the most are the ones that are flying by.
Learning to be married has been the most challenging thing I have ever done. Being a mom has (so far) been intuituve for me(yeah, wait for the teenage years). When Isaac was born, I felt like I had come to the time in my life that I was on this earth for. Being married was anything but intuitive though. We muddled our way through the earlier years, not necessarily with grace, but we did it. And now, after all the ups and downs that come in the course of 10 years, Jeremiah is truly my other half, the part of me that was missing before. I cannot imagine spending my life with anyone but him. I had no idea when we got married that I would get to this place, and to know that in 10 years time I will say the same thing is mind-boggling. I look forward to the next 10 years, and all the ones after that too!
I Love You Jeremiah!

Congratulations on 10 years!! We love you guys! = Rachel & Bill
Ah, Shanelle, I remember those early years - not just BC (before children) but even before marriage. What an amazing thing to confess that marriage takes work - BUT IT IS WORTH IT!!! Shout it from the (snow covered) hilltops:-)
God bless you with many more! Congratulations!
