God's gifts of ten years

- Celebrating ten years married to my best friend

- Taking a weekend get-away to Phoenix to celebrate our anniversary

- Enjoying uninterrupted conversations

- Taking a break from the constant needs of caring for children

- My in-laws watching Adrianna and Abel for us

- Staying at a beautiful location... and it being very affordable for the off-season


- Shopping at one of my favorite stores
- Scott planning some sweet surprises
 - Being able to wear my wedding ring again (after three years of it giving me a rash), by simply taking it to the jewelry store we bought it from, and them re-coating it (at no cost)
...And the jewelry store putting a rush on the process, so that we could pick it up again before we left town
- Sleeping late

- Scott planning a sunset off-roading trip in the desert 





 And enjoying a different kind of beauty from God's creation
 - Being married to my sweet Scott

Following about a dozen miracles (and probably many more I don't know about!), God brought Willy and me home, as scheduled, late on Friday, May 24. I've been too exhausted to update the blog sooner.  But here are some pictures from the last ten days since we've been back.

Thank you for the loyal service, Saturn.
