Ten years is a long time. Although, it doesn't sound so long when you consider the fact that my sister just turned 40 (and celebrated her 17th anniversary), my sister-in-law and brother-in-law celebrated their 17th anniversary, my in-laws will celebrate their 37th anniversary in a couple days, and my parents will celebrate their 45th anniversary in December . But, how is it possible that we've been married for 10 years already?!?!? We can't be old enough for that, can we? Last year I mentioned that I wanted to go back to Bermuda for our 10th anniversary. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. Instead, we'll be at our friend's wedding in Chicago while my dad watches our kiddos in our hotel room. We'll still have a fun weekend, but it's not the romantic get-away that I envisioned. Maybe we can sneak away for a night or two in the fall. Either way, we will celebrate the fact that we've been together for 14 1/2 years and married for 10! Woo hoo!!!
Right now I'm in Wisconsin visiting my parents. I dug through one of their closets and found my old prom dresses (why my mom saved those, I'm not sure!) along with my wedding shoes and my headband and veil that I made myself. My friend, Sarah, reminded me that she helped me finish sewing my veil during my rehearsal. Thanks, Sarah! I always was (and always will be) a procrastinator! I was a little worried when I found my sister's and my mom's wedding dresses but not my own. Thankfully, my mom had it cleaned, and it was tucked away under a bed and preserved in a special box. I was able to peek through the plastic window to admire my dress. It's not worth pulling out because I know that it won't fit, but it was fun to see it and show my girls! 


Isabella modeled the headband and veil and the shoes.
Sienna only wanted to try the veil.
My veil still fits! Yippee!!
Isabella also got a kick out of the petticoat (or whatever it's called) that I wore under my dress.
