10 Great Years


Well 10 years ago today, I married my amazing Husband. Wow it just seems like yesterday, we were standing in front of the temple. A lot has happened in those 10 years. I will remember forever all the fun we have had together. Our first apartment was so small. Probably the size of a Motel 6 room. We did not care we were just so excited to be together. We were so poor trying to get through school. I worked at a Dr office, not even making 10 dollars an hour, while Jared went to school full time working part time. I honestly don't know how we lived. (Well actually I do but, we won't go into that right now). My car at the time was a sweet sports car that I paid more on the car payment a month than our rent. I did have to give that car up for an old old Toyota Celica. It was worth it though.
