13 years

It has been 13 years this past August 13th! Thanks to some free babysitting by some dear friends we were able to have a small but sweet date to look one another in the eyes and say, can you believe it?? I was just whining to my sister in law about how as you grow older the birthdays and anniversary celebrations get less and less exciting but I know that is not what is important. It is hard to not buy the big gifts and think of the great surprising ways to celebrate and it is hard to not expect it! However, as you get older you learn to appreciate the small things and the celebrations that occur throughout the whole year, not to just turn around and plan the next big party when the one you just had is over (like my kids who somehow find a way to mention what they are getting for the birthday, or what they are going to do on their birthday everyday). Anyway, I just wanted to say Happy Anniversary to my man whom I love even more than I think I know I love him. My man who gave me a really sweet year amoungst some hard little things that we let get in the way. I hope this year we can focus on the little celebrations and not the little situations! Does everyone know what I mean????
