It's the end of June already?

Ok, so we ARE alive and I'm realizing I am a wee bit behind on the blogging scene. With the wrapping up of school, baseball, enrichment, and adapting to all kids home all day, and getting ready for a vacation, blogging was put on the back burner.
However, I will download some photos soon and recap the last month.

But today (Friday) I wanted to journal/highlight a milestone that Mr. C and I are celebrating. TODAY marks a DECADE ago that we were married! We can't believe that 10 years has really gone by. I thought it would be fun to recap the last 10 yrs.....(while I still remember the details since they're already getting a little fuzzy)!
• We've moved 7 times (to Portland twice, to Montana, to Kuna apt & house, and then to a rental and then here)
• We've bought 2 homes.
• We made it through grad school! Yay!
• We've become parents to 3 very energetic boys!
• We've bought 1 vehicle together (the van).
• Sold 1 car (my old Escort)
• Thankfully we've only visited the hospital to give birth!
• We've been on two vacations out of the country without the kiddos!
• Have never owned pets (although at times we think we have some crazy monkeys running around)!
• Made it through our first real season of city league baseball with Caden!
• Helped support each other with a variety of church callings.
• Have had lots of jobs! After we were married, we worked our own lawncare company in Tualatin, Adam waited tables @ Chevys and I did the morning shift @ Crowne Plaza. Adam tutored Spanish @ ISU and I worked in the foreign language lab and babysat my professor's baby, and then worked at the College of Education. In Missoula Adam worked at getting his graduate degree and at a the fitness club (The Court House)and worked with Paul. I worked for free as I finished my degree while student teaching. Then I worked in two law firms and at an insurance company on Saturday mornings doing mail. After graduating from UofM Adam landed his first "offical" job with RehabAuthority while in the same month, I entered my new career as mommy. Later I started teaching piano lessons and then I did a little jewelry business. Adam is still working at a fitness club and I am working full time as a mommy!

We have been very blessed for the past 10 years and I am excited to see what the next ten years hold for us! I see lots of sporting activities, games, practices, taxi driving, friends, lots of food preparation and consumption for the little people as well as baptisms and priesthood ordinances.

Here's to another ten! I love you, Adam!
