Love and Marriage

I never believed it when I was a kid and people would tell me that one day the years will fly by but they were right.  It seems like every year goes faster than the last.

Nine years ago tomorrow, I married the love of my life.  Our path has been bumpy and our life and marriage certainly is not perfect but we have made it through and learned a lot on the journey.

The years have flown by and so many things have changed. We have shed tears over loved ones lost and tears over the birth of our own little ones. We have supported each other through jobs lost, returning to school and career changes. I am thankful for the years that we have had and look forward to many more.

Valentine's

Jason commented over the weekend that he sure got lucky when he married me.  Valentine's Day is one of those holidays the I'm ehh about.  I don't care for the crowds and the prices being raised up just because every one is expected to buy cards, candy, valentines, go out to eat, etc is ridiculous.  Beside, March 1st is our anniversary and if he is going to spend money on me I would rather it be on a more personal day.  But this year, Valentine's Day was the best ever.  Cameron had his party at school and his excitement when he got home was magical.  He couldn't wait to get in the car and tell me all about it.  We picked up a pizza for the kids and ordered Carino's To-Go for the hubs and I.  A night in with my three sweeties was awesome.  No, we didn't get dressed up and it wasn't some fancy restaurant but , it was a night filled with love.  After all isn't that what the day is about.  Best part of the night...as we were walking out of the pizza place, Cameron grabbed my hand and said "Mommy, you're my valentine"  (Melt my heart).
