Yes, that's how much longer we have to keep Josiah on the apnea monitor.
JUST KIDDING!!!! (Did I get anyone?)
No, that's how long Bill and I have been married. Neither one of us can believe that it's been that long... or that short. After having kids, time seems to slip by so quickly and move at a snail's pace all at the same time. I guess that's what they mean when they say that the days are long, but the years are short... or something like that. Anyway, Mom was kind enough to come by today, along with Chris (whom William loves) and Gabi to watch the boys (it still feels weird saying that).
Seeing how things are exceptionally tight financially, Bill wisely decided to just take us on a mini-date, something we have not done in a LONG time. We went to see the 3-D version of Pixar's "Up." Such a cute, funny, and creative movie. I loved the story of Carl and Ellie even though it was just a brief part of the movie, but it was the driving force behind everything Carl did... so sweet. Anyway, we were able to go to Border's afterwards and just chill. And then we headed over to Outback for some yummy steak. As much as I still missed William and Josiah, it was refreshing and nice to be able to get out with just Bill. It reminded me of our dating days and when we were pre-babies. So much has changed since then. I really enjoyed myself being able to spend the afternoon leisurely with my husband. It was definitely a nice change of pace. It hasn't been just the two of us in so long. And it reminded me of those sweet times before we had children. Not that we would ever give up having William or Josiah for anything in the world. But it started with just the two of us, and I was able to be reminded of why I love my Boo so much. Going through hard financial times really reminds you of what's important and that there isn't much that you really need. And in the simplicity of the day, I was able to remember how good and kind God was to me by giving me Bill.
Happy anniversary, Boo! I love you dearly!!!
Since I don't have any recent pics of Bill and I... This is us the New Year's before we got married. =)
