James and I had the chance to go away for four days while my mother in law watched the five older children for our ten year anniversary. Hyrum came with us because he is still nursing, but was very well behaved and caused us no grief. We had a fun time over in the Seattle-Tacoma area. Our hotel was awesome and out on a pier, so we had ocean views, that was the best part. We got to visit our friends Chris and Camille, and got to have a special anniversary dinner thanks to James Aunt and Uncle who watched Hyrum so we could go alone. I can't believe its been ten years, but I guess when you have six children some time has passed. James and I have had a lot of trials during our first ten years that I never thought we would have to experience. Having to go through school, jobs, and our special kids, has brought us closer together and not driven us apart, which I find to be a great blessing. I am grateful to know that through the most difficult trials of my life so far I have had someone to cry and laugh with who understands it all and helps me move past it. This last year was especially difficult with James finishing school and finding out that our precious Hyrum would not have sight in this lifetime. But, through it all we grew closer to each other and the Savior, and for that I am grateful.We have finally had James finish school and get a wonderful job, and now I am going back to school after putting if off for some very important reasons, but I am excited for this new phase of our life and look forward to the adventure! I love ya babe!! Ten years down, eternity to go:)
