9 years ago

i made this for my Hubs a bit before our 1st anniversary... 


nine years ago i got married.  in las vegas.  in a drive thru in a taxi.  i had an orange tshirt and jeans and my husband to be wore a dickies and a sweatshirt.  after we got married, we gambled and drank free beer and ate at the buffet.  we rode roller coasters and had a fight, and made up, and now here it is 9 years later.  we have lived in four states, and have three (soon to be four) kids.  we have had numerous fish, and a dog who acts like a cat.  we have had fights, and we have had great times.  and all in all we have treated our marriage much like that night we got married.  we take it a little at a time. we wear clothes that are comfortable, and eat good food (although sometimes too much dessert).  we drink beer, and gamble with each new place that we live, and we ride the constant roller coaster that is parenthood.  and even though a lot of times i am on land and by myself, and he is underwater by himself, we are never alone... we have each other.  i am glad that i never had any crazy expectations of what our married life would be.  i am glad that i married my friend. and i am glad that he married me.

happy anniversary, HD! i hope the flaming hot whatevers you are eating taste good.  i miss you, and i am glad i get to see you almost sooner rather than later.  here's to counting on our toes!
