Ok excuse me for a minute while I be all mushy, but today is Will and I's 10th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY and that is a big deal. smile emoticon I remember when my older brother and his wife had their 10th and thinking "Whoa. That is a LONG time." LOL Haha...
A couple of months later after my other relationship ended for good, I was on a New Years Eve date with Will. We went skiing together. He made me laugh so much! I felt like life was the best ever. I yearned to be around him. I felt so different around him compared to other guys I had dated. I felt like the BEST version of myself when I was with him, and I felt like the most beautiful woman when I was with him.
Bottom line: Will made me feel loved and like life was beautiful. Like I was beautiful and deserved the best most sincerely beautiful love that a woman could ever deserve. And all of a sudden, this "friend" turned into someone I knew I was in love with. 6 months later, he proposed to me on a beach in Hawaii....4 months later an "official" proposal with a ring.....6 months after that we were married in the Portland Mormon LDS Temple in front of our close family and friends.
10 years and 3 kids later....I am still SO much in love with this man. He is a gentle spirit. A lover, never a fighter (unless it's for his family). He has loved me through so much. I admire him SO much. I truly am such a lucky girl. I can't wait to spend the rest of eternity with him. I love you Will.
Yes. I ate mostly this for lunch today. Because Will gave it to me for an anniversary present this morning, and because he is much wiser nowdays as to not give me cheap Russels chocolate anymore
#heknowsmewell, and because I worked out this morning. Oh, and because I can
Our moms....on our wedding day.
TBT - My daughter Jenni and I when she was about 5 yrs old. She never liked those dresses for some reason. Frankly, I was rather proud of the fact that I was able to sew them
Thursday Throwback - This is a shot I've never shared before from this 2006 photo shoot. It was on the beach near Seattle, as we tried to capture a cover shot for my debut album "Key of Sea". I have fond memories from this time though - I was releasing my music for the VERY first time. I had absolutely no expectations. I knew absolutely very little about the music industry, or even how to promote myself. I think I was on MySpace? I submitted the album to Pandora and it was accepted - little did I know it would become so popular. I did several small concerts for the album, met so many wonderful artists whom I now call dear friends. My music now receives about a quarter-million Pandora spins EVERY single day. I am performing at Benaroya Hall this year with full symphony and choir. My music now supports our family! So much to be grateful for.
This photo sort of represents a time in my life when things were very simple. Even though I'm so grateful for where my music is today - not to mention 3 babies later! However, I do miss everything about this photo and what it represents in that time of my life.#TBT

Anyone want to volunteer to clean this guy up? Because I kinda don't want to even touch him haha.
Celebrating 10 years by going on our first child-free overnighter in over a year and a half! We deserve this time alone, and the boys will have fun with Grandma and grandpa.❤ Here's to hoping our baby goes to sleep tonight without mama boobies. LOL Did I just say that? Yes I did.
Already enjoying PB&J sandwiches at Grandma' house. Goodbye offspring! We shall see you tomorrow after mommy and daddy have had an amazing night themselves in a rustic mountain cabin. ❤#10yearanniversary
Will gave me a surprise anniversary gift last night at the romantic cabin he took me to. I knew he was having my wedding ring re-rodium plated, but what I doesn't know was that he had an anniversary band custom made to match with 10 diamonds for 10 years. I am still smiling, because for every sparkle there is an "I love you". How did I get so lucky? He is a man of few words, but his thoughts and actions and the way he treats me speaks larger than the world to me. Now if I can just lose a little more of my pregnancy weight so it will fit me again...❤ I love my husband.
#10Years #3karats #loveforeternity
Yep. He definitely loves me a LOT.
This morning, while at the mountain cabin with our boys I was cooking bacon for breakfast. I gave Preston a piece to munch on while he was waiting. He came back a moment later and in a matter-of-fact sort of voice told me, "Mama, you can just make me up a plate of bacon okay." LOL Ummmmmmm....hahaha.

Sorry, I am a post-workout mess...but had to share. I am on my computer trying to reply to some emails and Taylor (4 yrs old) asked if he could sit in my lap. Apparently I am super boring because....look what happened. Zzzzz...
So Riley's thing lately is making a total complete mess of his food (including in the hair, down the shirt), hardly eating any of it, and JUST when I clean him up and start to take his tray away, he lunges for it as if to make one last attempt to scrounge any food off of it that he can (as if he is all of a sudden now interested in it), and looks at me for a reaction with a smirk on his face. It's hilarious because for only being 12 months old, I can clearly see he has a sense of humor.
All 3 of our little redheads at 12 months old...so fun.
And that's a rap for March! :)
feeling blah.
