I have a crush on last year's anniversary post, but I wanted to convey some true romance this year for #10. And I think I heard somewhere that nothing says romance like a haiku*...

steve (my husband's name
short for biblical Stephen)
endears me to him
when we made a vow
when we made a vow
he promised to make me laugh
each day while we're alive
reminded to speak
reminded to speak
with soft words in our fam'ly
by a man of God
del mar room service
del mar room service
danish with donny and m'rie
beach walks lots and lots of love
BYU marrieds
BYU marrieds
studio with green carpet
and a big hole in the door
fun driving the champ
fun driving the champ
sitting on the floor all year
livin on love sweet
he taught MTC

teaching in our blood
i taught second grade
villa maria

stolen bike teaching english
laundry up 2 flights
baby paige graced us
baby paige graced us
with pink and curls and joy
new parenting scares
time at grandma o's
time at grandma o's
valley of sun here we come
hot hot hot hot hot
a first house we built
a first house we built
preemie trevor boy
bedrest baby preston t
m & d o serve
bedrest baby preston t
m & d o serve
islands a far they did go
we stayed in a vintage house
'nother boy ahead
'nother boy ahead
lots of shots and TLC
here he comes but wait
must find a new home
must find a new home
gavin joins this family
six people live here
keeping out the world
keeping out the world
loving teaching laugh and sing
letting in the light
we stand here now us
we stand here now us
ten years of eternity
holding hands tightly

Lisa you are so creative.
Happy Anniversary!! to You and Steve 10 years, double digits!! Love you both so much!!
Happy 10!!!
Your poetry is amazing sister.
Love you both, love you all. Happy Anniversary! You have always been a gifted writer and I love it. The both of you are such an example to so many.
loved the haiku!! talented?...yes. i don't think i realized you were a 2nd grade teacher - that fits, it makes sense.
Have a good 10! You guys will have another 50 (or so) ahead of you--so I can't wait to read your Haiku then! You are a talent! By the way, forgive my total brain mush, but when did you live in the Villa Maria???? You gotta love that place. . . .
