A different kind of anniversary

Every anniversary is different.  

Our first anniversary we took a long weekend and flew to Boston to explore.  The next year I was rather pregnant so I don't remember doing anything.   Then Banana came along and we stayed home a few years and just did dinner out or went to see a play.  As he got older we would try to get away to a B&B at the beach but then Carrot came along so we stopped the weekend get aways for a time again.   My memory got fuzzy on what we did after Carrot was born.  I do remember ordering pizza on anniversary and celebrating with our kids.   I had to go search through our pictures and found we did get away one time since Carrot was born May 2010 our tenth anniversary.

Last year our anniversary fell on a Sunday of a church event I was organizing and then this year again the day is filled with commitments -  off-site work meeting, soccer practice, etc.  We are pretty sure we might as well not even try to fit in dinner out.

It is a little sad but I really feel more blessed that sad.

I am lucky enough to have been blessed with a great husband who loves me very much and is a great father.  He works hard and provides us with a great place to live where I can sit on my front porch and watch my kids playing with other neighborhood kids.

Our life is busy but what a blessed life it is.  We are blessed that Jeff has a job to go to today even though the meeting prevents him from getting home early enough for us to go out.  I am blessed that I have a little boy healthy enough to go to soccer practice.

On a trip, out to dinner, just ordering pizza or living a regular day......I'm super glad we can do it together.
