Happily Ever After

Last month Kyle and I celebrated a decade of marriage.  Ten years seems like a long time until I remember that we have an eight year old.  What a fun adventure our life together has been so far!  Kyle is my best friend and I really do love him more everyday.  The night of our anniversary we went to a wedding at a cute red barn out in the countryside.  It was fun to sit there together remembering our own vows and watching another marriage begin... plus we got to dance!

Ten years ago....

Happy Anniversary!!!

In case you didn't know, ten years is the "tin/aluminum" anniversary.  Pretty exciting! Since our washing machine broke the week of our anniversary our gift to each other was a new washer/dryer in a lovely slate color, which is pretty much the same as tin. :)  And we did get a night away later on.  We left the kiddos with my parents and hung out at a great resort on Oosoyos Lake in BC.  It was great! We hung out by the pool and rode bikes and I forgot to take a single picture.

Speaking of weddings, we have had a few really fun ones this summer.  My baby brother got married in June up in Stanwood.  So fun to see him happily married off to sweet Meghan.  Yep, that's right we now have another Meghan Ann Lentz in the family. (my sister was Megan Anne Lentz before she got married)

Here's the happy couple.

The boys were very proud little ring bearers and took their job very seriously.

Luke and Isaiah- my sister and I made the heart banners

Lizzy and Isabelle were flower girls and sooo cute.  Lizzy was surprisingly a little intimidated by the crowd and not so into pictures that day... that is until reception time.

Dessert time!

Hanging out with Allie

The wedding was perfect- there was lots of burlap, and boots and a barn and a beautiful couple.

So fun- love these guys!

We had another fun country wedding a couple weeks ago.  Kyle's cousin got married at the Grunenfelder homestead.  Again, it was a beautiful setting and a great celebration.  They had it set up so cute I kinda wished Kyle and I had thought of getting married there.

Barns have been part of all our weddings this summer

Hay bales for seats

Lots of fun weddings this summer!  My cousin Carissa is getting married next weekend in Kimberly ID too, and although we won't be able to make it to that one I'm sure it is going to be beautiful.  Nothing like weddings to remind you have thankful you are to be happily married yourself.  Here's to many more years together!
