11

Today Todd and I are celebrating our 11th anniversary. When you first get married, even 5 years seems like a big deal. I now realize that every year should be celebrated like a big deal because it is. I am so thankful to have found the love of my life, who also happens to be my best friend.

I fall more and more in love with Todd as the years go by. I love that he is a wonderful husband and father to Katie and Michael. He knows me so well and takes the good and bad parts of me, which is not always easy. I feel so lucky to have him as my husband and know that I count on him to be by my side.

As a surprise to me, Todd took the day off from work so we can spend it together and I am looking forward to it. I think it's amazing that something so simple can make me so happy. Happy Anniversary Todd!

9 years

It's hard to believe that it's already been 9 years since Todd and I were married. And even harder to believe that we will celebrate our 10th anniversary next year! Time goes by so fast.

I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful and supportive husband that I can share anything with. He truly makes me happy and is the best friend I could ask for. I look forward to waking up every day and seeing him and can't wait to see him at the end of the day. He is also such an awesome father. I love watching him teach Michael new things or rock Katie to sleep for a nap.

Todd, I love you so much and look forward to spending many more years together!

Date Night

Todd and I went on our first date tonight since Katie was born in March. I think the last time we went out together on a date was for my birthday in January! That's too long to go by without having some time alone together. We did go to Michael's preschool orientation and to run some errands without kids but that's not the same.

We decided to eat at the Olive Garden. Our dinner was good and the conversation was even better. It was nice to be able to eat a meal without having a baby in one arm or having to watch Thomas! This was really the unofficial dinner to celebrate our ninth anniversary, which is on the 30th of September.

We really enjoyed ourselves and I think we shouldn't let this long go by without another date night. Looking forward to celebrating our anniversary next week!

Happy Anniversary!

Todd & I are celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary today. It seems hard to believe that we haven't always been married and yet at the same time, it seems like we just got married. I love every minute of being with him and am excited to see him at the end of my day. I am so thankful for all of the things that he does for me and the joy that he brings to my life. Our life together is so full of happiness and I am very grateful to have found the person that I will spend the rest of my life with.

It was on this day, 3 years ago, that we found out we would be parents for the first time. What a blessing that was! And now that we are expecting our second, I feel like our bond is growing even stronger as we add to our family again. Not only is Todd a wonderful husband but he is also a wonderfully loving and devoted father!

I am working today and this beautiful bouquet of flowers was delivered to my office this morning. I wasn't expecting anything like this, which made it an even nicer surprise!
