I'm a very blessed girl. :-) Today marks our 10 year wedding anniversary. All week long I've been feeling very sentimental. :-) I've spent a great deal of time looking at our life through appreciative eyes, feeling more than ever how good God has been to us, and how quickly the time flies. We are truly blessed.
When I decided to put together a slideshow, I had very strict requirements...It couldn't be too long, no one has all day to watch slideshows. It had to be mostly just us, because spreading it out to all the people who are an intricate and lovely part of our lives would make it too long. And, I had to use songs we had in mp3 format, and not anything out of i-freaking-tunes, since using anything apple/mac/crap makes me feel violent. We do have that in common. :-) So, this is my feeble attempt to sum up 10 years (14 years together, actually) in a 5 minute slideshow, that doesn't even begin to include so many events, and things we love, like BBQ, eating, friends, camping, music appreciation, and long walks on the beach at sunset. (hahaha, sorry I couldn't resist that personal ad dig.)
And so, not to sound like a lame Oscar speech or anything, but I just want to say that we are so thankful to God first, and our family and friends as well. This slideshow cannot encompass all that we are blessed with and do together.
I love you, my Handsome Man. I'm so very glad God gave you to me.
Well done Naomi, I really enjoyed the slideshow and Garrett is a very lucky guy to have a gal like you for his wife. You are a blessed addition to the family.

HAPPPPPPPY ANNIVERSARY! This was just so stinkin' sweet. (Yep, I watched it all...down the the 5:20 mark) Loved the song you picked, you guys are so cute together. Nothing like being sweethearts from the very beginning. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that about Mac/Apple, mkay? I didn't read that, nope. I. did. not.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful slideshow, Naomi! Congrats on 10 beautiful years of union with your love. I just may have to steal your slideshow idea for our 12th in October. LOVE all your nicknames, and that last pic of your Rovey is gorgeous! My hubs wants to move us to WA, but I'd miss my S.Texas sunshine. :) May the Lord bless you many more wonderful decades together. I look forward to keeping up w/you on here! I'm always on the lookout for new friends, moms especially.

Truly, I loved the look at your lives, your fun and adventuresome spirits, the blessing of the GIRLS! and, you KNOW the picture of fourwheeling Rovey on an outcropping, clinched the crying deal for me!

HI GIRLS!!! Your mama is SOOOOO talented but, you knew THAT. LOVE THE CUPCAKES!

ReplyDeleteHappy 10 years girl! I wish I could have watched the slideshow, but my stupid internet connection is too slow. :(
ReplyDeleteHEY NAOMIG!
ReplyDeleteWe missed you last time we were your way. You have the funniest blog. Thank you for being there. This is to say congratulations on your ten years. I do remember your wedding! Your bridesmaids all walked down the aisle to Chopin's Ballade no. 2. (only the first part, of course!) look it up and see if those sounds don't bring back memories!
I just love your kids. The Lord is good!
Happy Anniversary! I loved the slideshow...you have such a great family! Wishing you the best for many years to come! :)
