12 Years.....

...and still going strong! Yesterday, August 29th was our 12th Wedding Anniversary. Derek and have known each other for almost 18 years, been married 12 years now and I love him more today than I ever have. When I think about our life together it seems like it's been forever and then sometimes I think about it and I still feel like a teenager getting butterflies every time I hear his truck pull in the driveway. Life is good!!

Our good friends and old neighbors The Farmers got us in to the zoo during our visit to the NW. We've been friends with them since Bryanna and Haydn were in our tummies. It's fun to see them everytime we come back "home". Thanks guys!
