10 years, 7 months, 2 weeks and 1 day ago I married my sweetheart. 

June 30th, 2000

He was literally heaven sent. No, he wasn't perfect and he still isn't, but he tries. He can make me so angry, and he can make me laugh out loud. He makes me feel beautiful even when I'm bloated, cranky and still in my jammies when he gets home from work. He understands me even when I don't quite understand me. And, he always says he loves me before going to sleep at night even if we aren't happy with each other at the time. We are like 2 puzzles pieces that fit together so perfectly, and along with our 5 other puzzle pieces, we are complete.

I love you, Michael, on Valentine's Day and every other day too!!

SNOW!!

Finally something to show for the freezing cold weather.

The view of the fresh morning snow from the front door.

With 11 degree weather with a -10 wind chill and 23 mph winds what do the kids want to do? Go play in the snow, of course! It took at least 30 minutes to get all the boys (Dad included) bundled up for outside play.

Adam lost interest is getting the picture taken before it was done.

They only lasted outside for maybe 10 minutes, but they had loads of fun before they started crying that their hands were frozen.

Levi didn't want to have a snowball fight so he just watched the craziness.

Michael was as excited as the boys, if not more, to get the fight on.

You can't tell from all the layers, but Levi is smiling for the camera.

Angela was less than happy that I wouldn't let her go out too. Maybe when the winds aren't blowing so hard.

"Mommy, I want to go out and freeze with the boys."
