10 years..

Yesterday was Noah and I's 10 year anniversary. Gosh, I seriously can't believe we've been married for that long. It's crazy to think 10 years ago I was 19 years old and didn't have a clue about anything really, or what the next 10 years would entail. I am so grateful I took a chance and married that 16 year old looking return missionary. Noah has been the best thing that has ever happen to me. I can't imagine life without him.

We all had to be at soccer practice last night and didn't get home till about 7:30..when I walked in the door these flowers were waiting for me. I was shocked...and love them. Noah nailed it with these flowers. He knows I am not a roses kind of gal and knows I LOVE tulips and fall colors.

This is what 10 years looks like..

Why the scale?? I wanted to do a funny post about all the things we got as wedding presents and still use...but never got around to it. But I will say...this scale is battery operated...used everyday for 10 years (sometimes multiple times a day) and we have NEVER CHANGED THE BATTERIES!! Freaky huh? I wish I could remember who gave us this wedding present!!

Weekend recap

 It has been raining for nearly a week strait! Rain boots were the best purchase I have made in the past 2 years.

 Soccer season started for Brody and Sadie. Noah is the coach for Brody's team. Brody scored the first goal on the first game...he was so proud!

 With all the rain we are forced to stay inside a lot...which leads to outfits like this.

 Saturday night Noah and I attended a dinner with Supreme court Judge Samuel Alito as the head speaker. It was part of Regent's 25th anniversary celebration. I was a little let down with the Judge....he was not the greatest speaker but I will probably never get to be in the same room as a supreme court judge again so it was fun.

Took a sunday drive to chesapeake bay area. We found this cute little spot with this lighthouse and a fun play area for kids.

Soaking in every last beach trip before we move in a couple months...

Fall is officially here!! I'm so excited for cooler weather and less humidity. Bring on the Fall baking!!

Hope you had a great weekend.

The kids had a great first day of school yesterday! I still think it's nuts that I have two kids going all day to school. They were so excited all morning. They both got up on their own at 6:30, picked out their clothes, helped me make lunches, and could not WAIT to head to the bus stop. My favorite part was hearing all about their day after school. Sadie went on for about an hour...while Brody summed it up in about 2 sentences. 

The night before we had a special dinner and family night to get pumped up for school. They picked out the menu...orange julius for the drink?? It was Noah's idea for the table cloth and candles..haha.

It's so fun to be home with just Ronan this year. He is milking it in every way. Enjoy it while it last buddy... January will be here before you know it! (Baby girl #4 will be here in January) Yesterday we had our 3rd annual celebratory back to school lunch with friends at Nordstroms cafe..I really missed all the friends who have moved!

Here's to a great school year!!
