10 years ago today....

I can't believe that we have hit our 10th anniversary already. It's really making me feel old. As I was looking through our wedding album this morning I was amazed at a few things. 1. We look so young. I really don't feel that much older, but to look at us now we are definitely older. 2. We look so much thinner. I know it happens to the best of us, but it would be nice to go back to the days where all you cared about in life was looking good to the opposite sex, so all you did was things to benefit that. There is just not as much time to do that anymore. 3. Photography has changed so much. Our photographer did not have a digital camera. All of the effects that were done were from different lenses instead of altering them on photoshop. That was probably the biggest thing that hit me. Technology has changes SO much in the last 10 years it's crazy. Here are some things that i remember from this day:

***My dad about passing out when he saw his oldest daughter kiss a boy for the first time over the alter.

***Jeremy forgot to bring his Tuxedo to the temple. He says that he wasn't told to bring it. Woops, minor detail. We could pretend that he did it on purpose to make me look that much better on our special day. :)

***The weather was crazy that day. It was really windy outside the temple. Everyone that didn't have a gallon of hairspray on their head had had issues during pictures. Because of the wind we had great clouds blowing by. I love the clouds in the pictures. It rained in between the temple and the reception. It stopped raining about an hour before our reception, so it really wasn't a big deal, as our reception was in doors.

***We had our luncheon at Hometown Buffet. I'm definitely looking back at that and thinking that was kinda tacky. Oh well. It pleased everyone with the variety of food options. During the luncheon Jeremy's Uncle Kelly stood up and told about how when Jeremy was little he had a problem saying his T's. He said them as an F. So when he would say Truck, it sounded like something else. Thanks Uncle Kelly for giving us all that lovely memory.

***During our pictures at the reception, we had some in front of a huge mirror. I grabbed Jeremy's butt forgetting that everyone could see my actions in the mirror. He he he. :)

***We stood in line for over 3 hours. People started coming early and showed up late also. The line was never ending. We had so many people show up. Don't get me wrong...I'm grateful for all of our guests, but my feet hurt BAD. We didn't end up leaving until like 11:30. What an extremely long, but enjoyable day.

***Apparently we had great food. We wouldn't know. We were in line for so long that we didn't get to eat any of it.

***I loved our cake. (I should have included pics of it, but oh well) It was one of my favorite parts of our reception. It was so pretty. Jeremy was nice to me and didn't make a mess everywhere, but I wasn't as nice. I got cake everywhere when feeding it to him. It didn't taste very good a year later. Uh duh, why do we do that anyway???

***I loved our flowers. Our good friend Becky Sohm did the flower arrangements for us. She did a great job. Thanks Becky!

***Miranda caught the boquet, and Pete caught the garder. Haven't seen those two for almost the whole 10 years. Miss you guys.

***We had a limo ride from the reception center to the Anniversary Inn that night. So our car didn't get destroyed with decorating.

***At the Anniversary Inn we stayed in the Lighthouse room. The bed was inside the lighthouse, so it was circular. We had a fish tank above us. It was pretty cool.

I feel like I could go on and on about the things I remember from that special day. It's fun thinking back on it. Thanks Jeremy for all you do for me and the kids. I love you! Here's to 10 more years!

It's crazy how much you can change in 10 years! I went to do a cartwheel to humor Hailee the other day, and fell flat on my face! I guess I'm not 16 anymore! I love the pics. of you guys! We weren't able to make it to your wedding, so it's fun to see those!
