And They Called It Puppy Love...

10 years ago a really bad storm passed through and knocked power out everywhere.
10 y
ears ago I woke up and painted my fingernails by candlelight.
10 years ago I rode on little winding roads to a country church.
10 years ago my Dad walked me down the aisle.
10 years ago I ate really good cake!
10 years ago we made each others cheeks hurt from smiling so much.
10 years ago we danced to "Let Me Call You Sweetheart".
10 years ago I married the man I still love with all my heart.

Happy Anniversary To My Wonderful Husband.

6. The last time I cried was: last Tuesday when I took the bandage off my nose and saw over 10 stitches (only thought there were going to be 6)

7. If I were to get married right now, my bridesmaids would be: none, we would have a private ceremony and a formal dinner afterwards where friends would come, no need for bridesmaids!

15. The craziest recent event was: usually to tuck the kids into bed we read them each a book, instead the other night we had a Native American Indian Pow Wow, complete with a blanket fire pit, blanket head dress, traditional naming ceremony and "Red as the Rose" gave an outstanding dance performance.

16. If I were a character on "Friends" I'd be: Who wouldn't want to be Rachel right? But, I am a little of them all. Shawna Lee would say I am Monica, Jennifer T. might say Pheobe, My husband might even say there is a little Chandler in there.
