11 years it is folks

11 years ago today I woke to thunder and lightning… yes, in Utah, in December, on our wedding day. Yikes! Luckily it turned to a lovely snow and the weather was great (well… unless you remember the blizzard of 2000 when we were all traveling up to Idaho for our reception).

This morning – 11 years later, I woke to screaming children. Not really. Well… really. Little did I know way back then… Just kidding… or not.

But – our 11th Anniversary it was. Jimmy was a saint and got up with Tru and Liza during the night so I could sleep. Bless him! And I slept in a wee bit. Bless him! And then after getting my cup of hot chocolate, I sat down by the computer and saw this. Dear man!He’s good to me. I’ll tell ya… we gobbled up those tasty dark chocolate orange sticks. I had a few wee little tears reading Jimmy’s note about why he loves me. The funny part was when I read “you bore our children”. What – I make the children bored? Ha-ha. I laughed at my error in reading that one.

Jimmy is my love and through thick-n-thin (i’m thick… he’s thin!), we’ve made it through… 5 kids and all… 9 moves… lots of jobs… lots of tears… oodles of laughs and hugs… marriage is a good thing when you’ve got a good guy. Love you babe!

Tomorrow we’ve got the date of the year planned. Well – sort of planned. But we’ll be kid-free for a few hours and that’s a good, good thing. Happy Anniversary!
