Day 294 - Thursday, October 21, 2010

Day 294 - Thursday, October 21, 2010 – Kevin and I celebrated our TEN YEAR anniversary today. Unfortunately, Kevin was in Germany on business. So, he sent these roses to me. (Cue the Awwwww's) Liam answered the door and signed for them and excitedly rushed them upstairs to me. All of the kids were super excited and Jordyn told me (with tears in her eyes) how happy she was that I had married Kevin. Because, had we not gotten married, we probably wouldn't have moved to Oxford, and she wouldn't know all her friends, and she wouldn't have her wonderful brothers. It was very sweet.
