Ten years of Marriage...

Jerimy and I celebrated Ten years of marriage on September 24th, 2015. Something we talked about doing on our road trip was taking family photos. Then I believe we started talking about how I might be able to fit in my wedding dress still and wouldn't it be fun to take "trash the dress" type pictures. One thing Jerimy's always good at is not laughing at me for silly ideas and, on occasion, actually making them happen. So that's what we did. We found a photographer who specializes in elopements and weddings out in Washington and Oregon. Then we set up a time we'd be in Oregon visiting my cousin. On the first Sunday of our road trip we drove to Wahclella Falls, put on my wedding dress, met the photographer and hiked a mile up the mountain. Not a super easy path, but we made it.

She took these photos for us while the boys patiently waited on a rock nearby.

It eventually started to downpour and Lucius was freaking out. Her camera was getting wet so we decided to start walk back to the car. Half way there, the rain slowed down. We stopped near another waterfall and took a few soaking wet family photos since Lucius had calmed down a little bit. We didn't get many photos taken before it started raining again.

The photographer was super nice and rescheduled the rest of our photo session for the following day. We went back to our cabin and dried EVERYTHING, so we could get up really early the next day and take our family photos. Here's just a  handful of the photos she took the next day at Rooster Rock.

I can't wait to see the rest!

Ten years ago I got married. We were "in love" then, but we've grown deeper in love with each passing year. He truly is my dearest/ bestest friend. One thing we've learned to do together is DREAM BIG. We can say any silly old thing and Jerimy somehow always makes it happen. In ten years we've had kids, quit jobs, moved to Italy, taken epic road trips and even pulled off a secret elopement!
Our vows said "I pledge to trust you and respect you, care for and protect you, comfort and encourage you, laugh with you and cry with you. I want to hold your hand gently and tenderly, loving you through good times and bad"

Thank you Jerimy for being an amazing husband. You are a fantastic encourager and (as sappy as it sounds) you make all my dreams come true. I love you!
