This day, ten years ago!

Do you remember what you were doing 10 years ago today? I do, because that was the day a 42-year-old self-proclaimed "old maid" married her Prince Charming! It's hard to believe Alex and I have been married 10 years now, and we both agree the time has passed quickly!

I was looking through some old photos and came across this one of our wedding cake, which was …

We had a morning wedding and a "tea reception" afterward, and my friend Deberah made pretty little signs that were used on the tables at the church. I did get to eat another slice of that delicious cake (which was actually made with tea) on our first anniversary, but I'm afraid I'll be looking for a new dessert here on the 10th anniversary!

  1. Happy Anniversary! I was a self-proclaimed 39-year-old "old maid" missionary, and many people were very shocked to learn 6 years ago that I was marrying my Prince Charming and leaving Tokyo metro area for the cornfields of the Midwest. Marriage is a gift!
