10 Year Anniversary

Jared and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary of being married. Yes, the big TEN!

I still think that Jared looks pretty much the same but I have changed a bunch. It is so interesting what we have gone through and accomplished in that time. We graduated college, had 4 kids, moved 4 times, had 5 jobs, coached 7 sports, bought 2 houses, owned 5 cars, visited 9 different states, added 40 relatives, lost 7 loved ones, got 2 tattoos (just kidding), and so much more! We have been truly blessed!

I loved Jared when we got married but I love him so much more now that I don't even know how to express it or explain it! 

Happy Anniversary My Love!!

We plan on taking a trip somewhere but are not sure where or when but for our date we went out to dinner at Sizzler and then to a trampoline place called I Jump. We invited any local friends or family who wanted to join us to come too. Chad and Dez joined us for dinner and then went home but James and Emily stayed for the long haul.We had a blast together. We took a regular picture together and then asked the guy taking our picture if we could do a funny picture and he couldn't find the funny button on the camera, we explained that we would be making silly faces and then he was to take another picture, I honestly don't know why that was confusing for him!

 I do have to say that although it was fun, it also makes you feel old! After having four kids, yes it took 3 trips to the bathroom before I could safely jump. Such is the joys of motherhood!

Jumping wore us out but we still had a ton of fun. There were these teenage kids there who were some of Jared's old students that were doing flips and spin moves and all sorts of stuff that they tried to get Jared to do. I told him he couldn't because I didn't want him to break his neck!

 There was a  dodge ball game area that we had fun in. Most of the time the little teenage kids smoked us but we would whip them once in a while. 

Here is James and I running up the trampoline hill to get our dodge balls.

 Jared plays dodge ball at school all the time so he was a master player!

 The funnest part was the foam pits. You jump into a pit of foam so soft that you literally get stuck in it. I had such a hard time getting out that most of the time James and Emily and Jared had to pull me out. 

Here is James trying to climb out.

 

I was too chicken to go in head first the first time, but then you realize that it is super duper soft and you won't get a head injury!

 Jared would throw the foam pieces at you.

 Nice glutes!

Thanks to James and Emily and Chad and Dez for joining us on our special date! We had a really good time!  And I would be remiss if I didn't also thank our babysitters who watched our four kids while we stayed out late partying. Thanks Kholers!!
