10 years...

Ten years ago today Derrick & I went on our first date! I've never been able to use the word "decade" up until now...I've been with Derrick for a decade :-). We had a wonderful courtship with lots of fun times. Stay tuned because we have another anniversary coming up in a few days.




This picture was taken about a week after our first date.




(Jo, do you remember this one?) My friend, Jo, took this picture after going out to eat with us to get to know Derrick. What's funny is I don't think he's gained much weight from that picture and I could still carry him on my back if I needed to :-).

I remember how smitten I was 10 years ago when we began our courtship. I felt like there was so much that I didn't know about him and I was so ready to learn. Even today I have moments where, as well as I know him, I feel like I still have so much to learn about him...mainly as he changes, and we change together, growing older and more in love. See that man up there in those pictures? I just love that man! :-)
