11 years

Eleven years ago, we got hitched. A white wedding in the botanic gardens with family and friends present. Despite the February rain and the unseasonal chill, it was a beautiful day.

The last eleven years have been full of adventures and boring days; great times and not-so-great times; laughter and tears; new arrivals and sad departures but through all of it, we've been together. As promised in our wedding vows - best friends always.

Our challenge today, to choose one photo for each year that represents just one of the high points of that year. It was tough to choose just one, and we've had to leave out so many holidays, pets and good times, but here they are - 11 years of us.

2002 - We got married! 

2003 - We went to Thailand for the 2nd time

2004 - We brought home our baby boys
(and despite the look on Stu's face, were thrilled!)
 



2005 - We bought our new home.

2006 - Our beautiful dog Buddy joined the family.

2007 - We began renovations on our house - removing the old chimney.

 

2008 - My belly dance journey began

2009 - We took a family holiday to the Gold Coast.

2010 - Little Hurley became the baby of the house, a friend for Buddy.

2011 - A family trip to New Zealand.

2012 - We renovated our kitchen!

2013 - Relay for life as a family with our school. 
A great way to spend your wedding anniversary.

It's been an amazing 11 years and I can't think of anyone else I would rather have spent it with.
