10 year Anniversary!!

I can't believe that 10 years have gone by. Who knew that I would be driving kids to school on the morning of our 10 year anniversary???
Walter and I have been together 12 years total, and we are more in love today than we were 10 years ago when we got married. He is my best friend, soul mate, wonderful husband and a fabulous father.
I remember getting dressed the morning of the wedding and being super excited, not nervous at all. But, once we got to the church, i was super nervous. I already had my dress on and had to go to the bathroom b/c my nerves were getting to me....I remember sneaking out of the room and looking around hopping Walter wasn't inside. So funny now that I think of it. As I waited for the church doors to open with my Dad at my side, he kept asking me if I was sure. Let me tell you that I have never been more sure of anything in my entire life. I KNEW that I wanted to marry Mr. Walter Edward Nichols. No doubt about it. And then the doors opened and I could see him smiling all the way from the back....i think I basically tried to run down the aisle, my Dad kept telling me to slow down. I couldn't wait. My prince was waiting. The next 30 min are a blur, but I do remember the first kiss and Pastor Mark announcing us as husband and wife....Mr. & Mrs. Walter Edward Nichols. Never have a heard 5 more beautiful words. WOOT WOOT!!!!
We have been through so much in the last 10 years...moved 7 times in 10 years (including apartment moves-which Walter doesn't count, but I still had to move stuff....so it counts), lived in 3 different states, had 2 children, been through about 5 different cars, traveled to Aruba, Carri bean, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Colorado, Disney and many beaches and mountains. We love spending time together and with our kids.
Walter really is the ideal Dad and husband. He works so hard at his job to make a life for us and to allow me to stay home with the kids. He is setting a great example for our children with his work ethic and his leadership as the head of our house and as a christian man. Have I mentioned yet that I love this man???? The lord put him in my life and just the right time and I am so thankful for that everyday!
When I met him 12 years ago he made my heart skip a beat, and now 10 years into marriage he still makes my heart jump when he walks into the room!
