My scanner squashes pictures. Our heads are not really this round. Case in point: see the pictures of Norah in the post below. In one, the picture is squashed sideways because that's how I had the photo in the scanner. In the other, her head is squashed down, making it look rounder. Does anyone else have this problem?
May you have ten happy more. And tens more after that!

Now that you mention it, I can see it in Norah's pictures, but I really don't see it in yours. Neither one of you has changed much--still handsome and gorgeous. I remember ten years ago when Emily told me at a gas station in Provo that a marriage might be in the works. I was thrilled! Look at the wonderful family they have become! Happy Anniversary.
Congrats!! You guys do look so young. I'm scared to look at mine and Jesse from ten years ago. It's so exciting to know that couples, such as yourselves and Jesse and I, are even more in love after 10 years of marriage.
I remember how sad I was when you got married because I couldn't be there due to being on my mission. I can't believe that was 10 years ago. Time flies.

Congratulations to both of you! Happy Anniversary--a little late. Hope you get lots of time to celebrate.
I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i...
First and foremost, happy birthday to my wonderful mom! I honestly don't know anyone more generous, giving or good with people. I like to think of myself as being generous, giving and good with people, but I've got nothing on her . She schools me, bigtime. Some of the unique things that make my mom my mom: She loves my children absolutely, which is a joy and a comfort to me. When she is around, they prefer her to me. She would rather be with her grandchildren than out with the adults, but does not relax when they are around. It's constant counting heads, making snowcones, taking off too-warm clothing, changing diapers, getting drinks. It's exhausting, and she's good at it. And she loves it. (I'm pretty sure.) She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
