On September 9th Dan & I celebrated 8 years of marriage. It truly is amazing how quickly the time passes. Looking at these pictures brings back a flood of memories and it just seems like yesterday we got married...but 8 years later, 5 sons later, that keep us busier than you can imagine our relationship is stronger than ever. We truly have been so blessed. Dan also did an amazing thing for our Anniversary. I was in total shock. Usually somehow I figure out or find out what his plans are, but this year he kept the biggest secret of all, and boy was I ever surprised. In March Dan had written a letter to Orpah, telling her about our situation with our 5 boys and how he felt that I needed a space for myself, a sanctuary so to speak. Well the morning of our anniversary I awoke to the biggest shock. He got an answer to his letter and we had our master bedroom made over. It was an amazing day, I'm smiling right now just talking about it. There are MANY details but to say the least he sure did surprise me and Oprah made me the most beautiful "sanctuary" ever. It truly is a place that I can go and relax and feel at peace even if it is only for a moment! I LOVE YOU DAN.

Hi Stephanie and Dan,
I am not sure if you remember us but Daniel played with Curtis at BYU. And we both had our twins (your first set lol) at close to the same time. I just wanted to say I tivo'ed your Oprah and today I finally got time to watch it. It just made me cry you have such a great family and hubby! Your sanctuary is beautiful and you so deserve it! I keep saying if I could be guaranteed to have twins again I would do it, they are just the best of friends! You have a few years of crazyness but it will be so fun to have all your boys so close! Any chance of going for a girl? Well I wanted to let you know that you can connect to our blog from Kim's and I just wanted to say you guys are awesome and I pray that you all remain healthy and you are able to wean them easily so that you are not so tied down! (I feed mine til they were almost a year and it was so hard to part) We love you and hope all is well....The Coats Fam...Alicia, Daniel, Tyra, Dante and Dominic!
