Our Anniversary

Yesterday was our 7 year anniversary. I forgot about it until I was writing the check for Thomas' tuition. I called the husband and he just started laughing. I forget it every year. This past year our marriage was really put to the test. Money and children can really take a toll on a relationship. I finally realized that my life shouldn't center around my children. It does for the most part, but I lost a bit of ME since having kids. I love my babies more than anything, but when I take time for myself I'm a better mother to them, and that includes taking time for my marriage.

The husband and I have decided to take a cruise this year, just the 2 of us, no kids, pagers, bail bonds, or faulty generators or tent heaters. I look forward to relaxing in the middle of the ocean for a good few days. Archie's looking forward to the blackjack table. We plan on having Mom stay with the kids while we're gone. She's in love with them and they with her, so they'll all be fine. Probably better than fine because they'll have a break from us and have some serious Granny time. Thomas will be in WooHoo up to his ears, and I'm sure that Luke will be dancing on the table top!

Our 10 year anniversary is coming up. I think we'll go as a family to Disneyworld. The kids will be at the perfect age to enjoy it and I've been dying to go back. I think I'm more excited than anyone. :)
