I can hardly believe it, its gone by so fast. I keep telling him he's got 2 more years and then he better take me somewhere warm, tropical and surrounded by water! We were lucky enough to get a gift certificate to Tomato Street from his parents, so we left the kids with them and off we went. What do you think we talked about the whole time? The KIDS! Sheesh!
So, what have we been upto in 13 years? Let's see...
-a fabulous honeymoon to Mexico (where he nearly drowned me during snorkeling...seriously...ask me about that sometime)
-4.5 years of blissful child-free married life (boy, we had NO idea how easy life was)
-Buying our first home
-Fun trips to Orlando, San Francisco, Yellowstone, Glacier, and countless road trips
-Finding out we were pregnant after 3 years of trying
-The birth of our son....this day remains the most memorable in my life
-Paco being hit by a drunk driver, and escaping with only a concussion and lots of sprains and scrapes. Thank you God!
-7+ years of opposite work schedules
-The birth of our daughter (funny I would mention this after the opposite work schedules...wonder how we managed that?!) Okay, Okay, I'll tell you, quit twisting my arm! This happened when we left Cole for the very first time for a whole weekend. Served us right!
-Work promotions (hopefully more to come!)
-Death
-Gracie's illness in January, and being reminded what a gift she is to us.
-Watching wonderful things happen for family and friends
-Tough times in our marriage, and learning from them
Of course, there's so much more, but these are the things that stand out the most to me.
So, here's to another 13 years, more wonderful memories, and growing old(er) together!
