12 Years!!!!

I can't believe I have been married twelve years! I don't look a day older than my wedding day - right???? :)

We celebrated our anniversary on a weekend get away to Grass Valley while the kiddos had a vacation of their own at my parents house. We had an amazing weekend - a great hike to Loch Leven Lakes, sleeping in, great food (LOVED Kane's in Grass Valley and Posh Nosh in Nevada City) and the movies (someone should have warned us The Time Traveler's Wife would be a HUGE tear jerker. It took all the self control I had not to sob like a baby).

I love hiking, especially with Jason. It's a chance to escape everything and clear my head - no TV, cell phone or other people. Just Jason and I enjoying nature with some great conversation.

This hike was not easy, but it was do-able - 5 miles mostly uphill on the way there. Needless to say, I enjoyed hiking back much better :)

We enjoyed lunch and a refreshing swim in the lake

Look at the Sierra Nevada views - beautiful

I love you Jas. Thanks for so many wonderful years together. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us.

P.S. - When we picked up the kids tonight, Taya was not too pleased to come home. She told Grandma all weekend that she liked living at Grandma's house and then told her teacher at church today that she moved and she lives with Grandma now. Wow, I better not leave too long or I will never convince her to come back home!

Seriously Jen, you've hardly changed at all. That picture could have been taken yesterday & I wouldn't know the difference...you age very well!
Congrats on 12 years!

You are such a wonderful couple... seriously!
The anniversary get-away looked amazing!!! love it! I cherish those times away alone with hubby.


funny Taya didn't want to come home... I was just thinking back to her baby shower!!! I remember you sitting on the couch and we were looking through all the cute little girlie things you had received and you were soooo excited to be having a baby girl! So was your MOM! :) And look how big Taya is now!!! And she is such a beauty. :)

Fun times... we miss you guys! Cross your fingers that everything works out and we move back to Loomis next year, K? We can hang out once again!

I agree with all the comments...you guys still look great and young. Your trip sounded wonderful also. I wish Mike and I could get away together soon. We are waiting until October when we go on a cruise. Our 13th anniversary is on Monday but it will be mostly packing since we are leaving to go camping at Lake Chelan, WA the next day.
