David and I celebrated our 9th Wedding Anniversary yesterday. (Yes, marriage has turned him gray!) I've been going through old pictures of just the two of us (dating back to 1994) and it's fun--and weird--remembering that we had a life together, just the two of us, before the kids came along. You know how anniversary years have specific gift-themes, like the 1st Anniversary is paper, the 5th Anniversary is wood? Well the 9th Anniversary is pottery and willow. A contemporary theme of the 9th Anniversary is leather. Looks like we'll go with that one this year, because we're celebrating big this year...at Van Halen next weekend!!!
How do 9 years of married life look on us?
1 year of wondering together whether Grace will be ready for traditional Kindergarten.
2 years of having fun with this blog.
3 years of my never-ending health issues. The latest is I think I have arthritis in my left thumb.
4 years of diapering, dressing, feeding, bathing, brushing, reading to, hugging, kissing, teaching, singing, buying for, nagging, playing, adoring...times two.
5 years of trying to stick to a set household budget but breaking it everytime if there's book you want to order, a CD you want to download, a pair of J. Crew pants you just have to have or a pizza that I can't live without.
6 years of loving every episode of the Sopranos together.
7 years of thinking our house is too small/too cluttered/too run down in places, and then after one evening of sitting outside our big, private yard, realizing that we love it here.
8 years of daydreaming about going back to Greece someday.
...AND...
9 years of living with, laughing with, and loving your best friend.
