As of today Shakes and I have been married 10 years.

We met August 29th, 1999, were engaged November 19th, 1999, and Married March 11, 2000. (yeah, five months from meeting to married) He was a ripe old age of 22 and I was 19 lol  I know that more than one person thought we were clueless and making a horrible decision. Ten years, nine moves, four kids, and many adventures later- We have wanted to beat each others heads in a few times, but he is still my Best Friend, and if I could choose anyone to spend time with, it would be him.

I assume you all remember last Thursday night was the BCS championship football game. Texas Vs Alabama. Nike was holding a party at the Tiger woods center to celebrate. Shakes had asked a few days before if it would be ok if he went (it was from 4-9) and after making a lot of really mature jokes about him partying and Tiger Woods- I told him that I didn’t mind. Party day came and Shakes calls me up and tells me that families are invited to. So I scrambled and got the kids presentable and we headed to the Tiger Woods Center on campus.

I recently discovered 1 vs 100 and Im totally addicted. I dont do super well, but I have fun (normally Im in the 30k point range on extended play.) Last night was the kids movie catagory. I got all of them but the last four right. And right before I I went on my losing streak I was actually in the top ten for points. I do have to say Im pretty darn pleased with myself. Im also surprised that I didnt wake up all my kids with my screaming when I got those last four questions wrong. lol

The last time we had family pictures was 4 years ago. Needless to say, it was time for new ones.  Shakes has a sister who has a SLR and who thinks she is a photographer, so we had her snap some of us while we were in UT for thanksgiving. I finished the post processing of them this weekend and Im quite pleased if I do say so myself.

Shakes and I have been trying harder to go on more REAL dates. Sure going to target without the kids is fun, but not very romantic. So in September I took him on a date to go put put golfing at this cool little black light place in DT Portland. Not anything fancy, but a real “dating each other” date. We had a great time. I told him his job was to find a “musical” date for us the next month. (He is always commenting about how there are so many bands that play in Portland and we never ever go to concerts and what a shame it is)
