Eleven

Eleven years ago today I married my sweetheart up a canyon by a beautiful river.

Photobucket
Some of my memories of that day are:
*It rained a little in the morning but it was really hot and sunny by that afternoon.
*My grandma Croshaw was there. She died probably a year later.
*My sweet grandpa Christensen performed the ceremony, I don't remember a thing he said.
*Ray had the most awesome vows. He said that he had a dream about them and woke up and wrote everything down. I still have the paper.
*My vows were totally lame (I figured I would just wing it-bad idea), but my mom told me that no one could hear anything I said so that's good.
*My bouquet had this big ugly bow on it. My mom just cut it off right before I walked down the isle. (what would we do without moms?)
*The food we had at our dinner after was SO good and I was SO hungry!
*I was completely, totally ready. I wasn't nervous at all, not even the slightest little bit.
*After we were married I just couldn't stop smiling. I was so happy!

How the last eleven years have flow!

And you remembered this year!
I do remember that it was a very cool setting and how great it was when the two families got together.

I still have a photo of me walking you down the isle, on my nightstand.

What a great beginning that was, and look where it has gone from there - eternity.
