Ten years ago yesterday Rus tried to kiss me like this:
Luckily, at the last second I opened my eyes, and with a scream and a slap I avoided kissing him and his Billy-Bob teeth. He took a big risk: this was before we were officially married in the Mesa, Arizona temple. Good thing I have a sense of humor or I would have missed out on a lot of great things in the last ten years...Like:
(in no particular order)
going fishing
guns
spotlighting
having a dog
motorcycles
crashing a motorcycle
watching Hunt for Red October 117 times
New Mexico fireworks
dry ice bombs
camping in the pop-up
camping in a tent in the rain on the side of a hill
eating MREs
changing out a radiator
green chile
red chile
New Mexican restaurants
MASH
welding
blacksmithing
riding a mule
the greatness of sideburns
obscure New Mexico history
sleeper vehicles
Big Mama
the Bronco
lots of kissing
other stuff
every song U2 has ever made
having "our" song: U2's The Sweetest Thing
long drives
longer drives
really really really long drives
dirt roads
having a walking breathing "why things work the way they do" dictionary
dozens and dozens of chocolate chip cookies
spam hash
the house I live in
Bekah
Jacob
Beau
Marianne
I love you Rus!
Ten years, a drop in the bucket.
Good thing I like you.
a lot.

I love it!!!
Happy Anniversary, you two!! I was SO HAPPY and honored to be among the crowd waiting for you to come out of the temple ten years ago, and then celebrating at your fabulous ice cream parlor reception!! You looked so beautiful and happy!! We weren't too far out of high school and I was a little leery of Rus - who was this GUY who was sweeping my best friend in the world off her feet and carrying her away to "married land"?! Hahaha, but I guess he turned out to be okay. ;-) Hope you get to do something fun for your 10th!!
I just LOVE it. Happy 10 years...is it the 18th? That is Dusty's birthday. You are too funny to express in words!
