10 years of marriage
10 years ago, James and I were married. 10 years of happiness. 10 years of working together. 10 years of understanding in difficult situations. 10 years of love and devotion. 10 years of joy. 10 years of support, in sickness and in health. 10 years of the starting of our family. 10 years of the beginning of a lifetime. 10 years of the beginning of an eternity. It hasn't always been easy. Marriage comes with its ups and downs. The point is to always communicate, and to have an open and honest relationship. Do not judge one another because we are all human and make mistakes. James Erickson, I still remember on February 13th, 2006 when you got down on one knee and asked me to marry you how absolutely excited I was. You saved me in so many ways and you’ve given me 4 beautiful and perfect children. You are an amazing father and you constantly support and encourage me to be a better mother. You give a perfect example of a true man and standing by your spouse in sickness and in health because goodness knows I’ve had my fair share of sicknesses. You tell me I’m beautiful every day, even when I constantly belittle myself and when I don’t feel attractive. And you’re not just saying it. With the love in your eyes, I know you mean it, and it helps me believe it. You are my unbelievably hot husband and I’m so glad that the love and affection that first started with our relationship has not dwindled. Thank you for being my eternal companion, and I truly hope that we have many more earthly years together to enjoy our life and the lives of our children and family.
Happy 10 year anniversary my love.

Meet the Erickson's: Our story.
We love our growing little family so much! James and Rebecca met at Kmart when James was 22 and Rebecca was 16 and they became fast friends. After a while of dating they realized they wanted to be together for a long time so on August 26th, 2006 they decided to get married. A year later, August 28th, 2007 they were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple.
In December of 2007 they found out they were expecting their first child. Rebecca had dreams that it was going to be a boy and in the dream she called him Rushton so they decided that his name would be Rushton. Rushton was supposed to be born on August 6th, 2008 but he came a little early because Rebecca ended up getting preeclampsia and had to be induced. After she was induced the doctors realized that the baby was breech. They ended up doing an emergency c-section and Rushton James Mont Erickson entered this world at 7:26 a.m. on June 23rd, 2008. He weighed 4 lbs 4.5 oz and was 17 1/2 inches long. He ended up staying in the NICU for 17 days and then was able to come home.
James and Rebecca lived with James' mom for the first 3 years of their marriage and decided to purchase their first home in Orem UT in July of 2009.
In 2010 they found out they were expecting their second child. This time they had no idea what they were having but they both welcomed whatever it was. They found out it was going to be another boy and had a little more difficulty choosing his name. They came across his name by accident by googling Book of Mormon names and for some reason Alexavier came up. If you have read the Book of Mormon you would know that Alexavier is not in there but they thought it had a wonderful ring to it and it was very beautiful so they decided that it was the perfect fit. Alexavier was expected to arrive on May 15th, 2011 but Rebecca went into labor when she was only 32 weeks along. She was dilated to a four and having pressure waves every 2 minutes apart and no medicine would help stop or slow them. She was able to hold off having Alexavier for another four weeks by staying on strict bed rest and even her older sister, Elizabeth drove across the country from Pennsylvania to help Rebecca out. Rebecca stayed in labor for the entire four weeks with the constant 2 minute apart pressure waves the whole time. Her water finally broke at 5 a.m. on April 21st, 2011 and when she arrived at the hospital she was progressing fast. She had decided to give birth naturally with no medicine so that she had less of a chance of having a repeat c-section and that she would be able to have a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). Alexavier Oren Ronald Erickson was born into this world on April 21st, 2011 at 10:23 a.m. and weighed 7 lbs 8 oz. and was 19 inches long.
James currently works at JCPenney's and Rebecca works at Walmart and they both absolutely love it. They still reside in their home in Orem and hope to be there for a long time.
