Yesterday was Heather's and my third wedding anniversary. Before you ask what magical and wonderful things we did to commemorate, I'd like to give you this glimpse into the start of the day:
I left home early to get to work early so I could be home early (there's a pattern in there) and so Heather and the kids were still asleep when I left. At 9am I got a phone call from Heather. I could hear the kids screaming and playing in the background.
M: "Hey baby, Happy Anniversary!"
H: "What????? Oh, yeah, I guess it is our anniverary. Is it already September? Yeah. Happy Anniversary honey."
So when I got home, Heather was at the doctor's with McKenna, we walked around the neighborhood, bathed the kids, and played cards. That was our special night. ;)
Speaking honestly for a second, I have to say two things:
1. I recognize that right now, we have two little ones, and many of the things that Heather and I would like to do just aren't possible right now, and I'm fine with that. If I can't take Heather to NYC to see a show on Broadway for our anniversary, that's fine, because the time will come later when we can.
2. The last three years that I've spent married to Heather have been the most exciting, stressful, wonderful, magical, amazing years I've ever had. Despite the stress and heartaches and troubles we've had (getting laid off twice, moving twice, having two kids in the NICU, the hypoglymic lows, the seizures, and all of the other things that have happened), I can't imagine spending these years with anyone else, and I'm thankful I've had Heather by my side. I love her dearly, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Awwww...How sweet!! Happy Anniversary!! I can't believe you've been married 3 years...Time goes by too quickly!!
