This is what a decade looks like

Josh and I met on May 31, 2003. We “officially” became a couple on June 14 of that year. I can’t believe it’s been ten years since we met. I was 19 and he was 20; we had both just finished up the school year at our respective colleges. He didn’t even know what LMU was; he thought it was in Louisiana. One of our very first conversations was about not being in a rush to get married. Ha. That’s funny.

Over the span of the last decade, we have grown, changed, laughed (a lot), accomplished a lot of goals, attended weddings and funerals, and really enjoyed each other’s company. Also, sometimes we didn’t enjoy each other’s compa

ny, but we made it through with hard work and a lot of compromise. It’s hard to imagine that the two carefree kids we were when we met actually stayed together, got married, and have turned into this BORING set of parents!

I can’t imagine that more can happen in the next ten years than the amount that happened in the last. Actually I HOPE much, much less happens. Here are some highlights:

  • We found and adopted Koal
  • Josh graduated from college
  • Josh bought a condo
  • I graduated from college
  • We traveled to the BVIs
  • Josh got into Baja racing, did the Baja 1000
  • We got engaged
  • I got a job at Chapman
  • We bought a Harley
  • Josh got really into cycling (+/- lots of bikes)
  • I got really into photography
  • We remodeled the condo
  • I quit my job at Chapman and got a new job at CDM
  • We got married
  • I got into cycling
  • We traveled to Atlantis, Bahamas
  • Josh was in a bad accident
  • We bought a house
  • We remodeled the house
  • We went on a cruise in the Caribbean
  • Josh got a new truck
  • We remodeled the house
  • We sold the Harley
  • We remodeled the house
  • We had a baby
  • We remodeled the house

See what I mean?

I’ll now take you on a photographic journey…enjoy!

Train ride to San Juan Capistrano

IMG_1774

For Memorial Day, we journeyed to SJC on the train with Grammy and OT (Linda and Jeff), as well as Mark, Laci and Alexis.

Jacob liked the “choo-choo car” but didn’t like napping. Finally he fell asleep in my wrap while we walked, and thank goodness for that! He slept through almost all of dinner, too! We had a nice dinner at El Adobe, and an all-around beautiful day.IMG_1769 IMG_1768 IMG_1767 IMG_1766 IMG_1765 IMG_1764 IMG_1763 IMG_1761 IMG_1760 IMG_1757 IMG_1756 IMG_1755 IMG_1754 IMG_1752 IMG_1751 IMG_1750 IMG_1749 IMG_1746 IMG_1743 IMG_1742 IMG_1740 IMG_1739 IMG_1737 IMG_1736 IMG_1735 IMG_1732 IMG_1729 IMG_1724 IMG_1722 IMG_1721 IMG_1720 IMG_1718 IMG_1717 IMG_1715 IMG_1712 IMG_1711 IMG_1709 IMG_1708 IMG_1707 IMG_1706 IMG_1703 IMG_1702 IMG_1699 IMG_1698 IMG_1693 IMG_1688 IMG_1687 IMG_1686 IMG_1682 IMG_1681 IMG_1679 IMG_1678 IMG_1677 San Juan Capistrano 2013u

The painted ponies go up and down

Jacob loves carousels, and he is so cute on them. This one is at the Spectrum, and he waved at all the onlookers, making them laugh and smile. Everyone was charmed and tickled.

That’s my boy!
