Twelve Years later!

On Saturday, October 11th, Joe and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. It seems strange at times to think that we have been married for so long. It is also amazing at the same time to look at pictures and video for that day and to see how much everyone has grown. We have four of own children with the oldest at 11 and the youngest at 1. They keep us busy and on our toes.

On Joe's side of the family there are nieces and nephews who have served missions or are close to mission age, one is engaged, and one is even married (with two kids or her own). It doesn't seem possible but it is.

Next Friday, my youngest sister is getting married. That means that all eight of my siblings will be married. It is the end of one chapter and the continuation of the next for my family. And even then a third chapter is not too far off in the future. I have two nephews that are within years of being able to serve missions.

On top of all of this I will be celebrating my 32 birthday later this month. I don't feel old but I am reminded by loved one that I am. It all blows my mind. Time is flying by.
