10 Years

Ten years ago, on July 17th, 2004, we celebrated our marriage with family and friends. Much has happened over the past ten years, but the memories of that day remain vivid. Unfortunately this year Brandon was in Walla Walla on our anniversary. We went to dinner as a family when he returned, then Brandon and I went 4-wheeling on Sunday. We went near Idaho City and rode up Bald Mountain to the Thorn Creek Butte Lookout. It was smoky when we started but once the breeze picked up it was a beautiful day.

At the top of the mountain there were fields of lupine
