At the beginning...

10 years ago around this time I was waking up, it would be the day that I would marry the boy who had changed my world. Its hard to believe at times it has been 10 years already, but then I look around and I see the effects of time passing before me. Grey hairs and wrinkles I never had before... A scar on my stomach that bears the story of children coming into our life and changing us again from just husband and wife to Mom and Dad... and just growing as people but still very much connected to who we were then that day to who we are now, stronger and very much still in love.


I look at Ken and I see the boy who charmed me with his love of puppets, music and film. I also see the man who stood by me when my world came crashing down and helped me to stand when I wasn't sure I could. A strong man of faith who loves both me and the kids and puts our needs and hearts first. His face is older and wiser, but he is still the scruffy boy I know and love.

Music always takes us back to moments in our lives that remind us of something or someone. The song that played when I walked down the aisle was from an animated movie. When I first heard it I realized it was our story, it was our song and ever time I hear it I am moved to tears thinking of the day we started 'forever'.

We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Live is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on....
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you.



10 years... its only the beginning. I love you Ken!
