Top 10 for 10 years

In a book I've read several times (Eclipse) there is a section where they are talking about their top 10 nights together. So I thought since this is my 10 year anniversary I would list my top 10 nights or days with Todd.

  1. The night we went to see "Les Miserables" for my birthday when we were dating. It was the best birthday present I've ever gotten and we got all dressed up and had so much fun at the show.
  2. The first time Todd told me he loved me - I think it was at the Nu Skin Convention we were both working at (which by itself would also make this list).
  3. Driving back from California after meeting Todd's mom and grandma when Todd first talked to me about getting married.
  4. The night Todd proposed. Even though I was soooooo grouchy and didn't deserve it he took me to the beach, got down on 1 knee, told me he loved me and asked me to marry him and gave me the most beautiful ring.
  5. The day we were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple...and that night of course :)
  6. The day I beat Todd in 3 games of Sequence in a row. (I haven't beat him in a game since)
  7. When we decided it was time to start our family. I remember loving him soooo much at that moment.
  8. The birth of each of our kids. There was something so amazing about having Todd there with me holding my hand and encouraging me through everything. Different things stand out about each one. With Tayson we were both so nervous and Todd kept wiping my forehead off with a washcloth and my head was so raw. Then Luke gave us quite a scare and at that moment when the doctor stepped in to help the midwife and the lights got turned on as bright as possible and they were preparing for an emergency of some sort Todd looked at me and I was so calm. I remember with Claire that right after she was born there was one little tear in his eye that I saw which melted my heart. And with Sophie Todd was hoping for a boy until the bitter end.
  9. Our trip to Tahiti (Morea and Bora Bora). I can't pinpoint one day or night of that trip. Everything about that trip was amazing. It was our real honeymoon...even though I was 6 months prego with Tayson.
  10. Today, tomorrow and everyday for the rest of eternity...it just keeps getting better with time (oh my gosh I'm so freakin' cheesy).
Here's to the first 10 years. I'm so grateful that I have the rest of eternity to make more memories with the man of my dreams.


Then

Now

I'm pretty sure we look just as in love now as we did then.

9 Years Ago

I married the man of my dreams.


I always thought finding the right person would be the hardest part and I'll admit it took me a good while and I had to kiss a lot of frogs to find my prince. But now I know better I've learned over the last 9 years how hard marriage can be and what real love is.

All of our disagreements and trials and hard times have brought us closer together. I can't imagine a day in my life without Todd there. Who would make me laugh? Who would I clean up after? Who would put up with all my crazy? Thank goodness we will be together forever. I love you so much Todd.

I am the luckiest girl ever. This guy rocks!!!
