One and 10 Years Ago
One year ago yesterday we found out we were expecting.
Ten years ago today we were married.
I had an awesome post done up yesterday about it being a year since we found out we were expecting, but the board ate it when I went to post it. So I’ll try again.
I remember the day like yesterday. We both had off, it was a Monday, because we had originally taken the day to celebrate our anniversary. Instead we were having our furnace replaced. The furnace people were supposed to arrive at 8am, but they were early at 7:30 so I never had the chance to tell James our news before they got here.
They finally left around noon, so during that time as not to spoil the suprise I went to the grocery store, went to Target and then hung out in my scrapbooking room so I wouldn’t have to see him and thusly I was sure he’d see on my face.
Hehe, I remember buying a dount at the grocery store. It had looked SOOOO good when I was there. On the drive to Target I took a bite… EWWW! It did not sit well. James should have known something was up when I came in the house with that donut and he had to eat it. Thru the whole pregnancy I never liked sweets really, and keep chocolate away from me, the site, scent Eww!
Which reminds me, I’m owed a box of Turtles from Hughs Chocolates… as we bought them knowing I didn’t like it, but because we’d never had it and we happened to drive by it accidentally I wasn’t passing up the option. James opened the box and devoured one, whilst I gagged. So he was to save me one 
Which didn’t happen
Back to the story, whilst in my scrapbooking room I made a card for him, and just before they were finished with the furnace I ran upstairs and put the card and the test in the musical dogs arms I’d bought for James at Target, and attached the big that said “I love Daddy” I’d have for a while.
When they were gone, I ran down the stairs to meet him, he was asking what we were going to do with the rest of our day off. I handed him the puppy and will never forget his response… “are you joking?” or the shock on his face. I think he semi collapsed to the floor and basically said nothing else for a while. Eventually he got up, and we went to a few stores-obviously looking at baby things.
And, our wedding 10 years ago… wow. 10 freaking years. It feels like so long ago, yet it feels like so little time has passed. Here’s hoping for 10 more years filled with the joy of James & Evelyn in our lives which brings us great joy and fullfills our lives. I wanted to write more about our wedding anniversary and a recap of our lives thus far, but the kids are awaking from what seems like a pretty consistant nap these days so I shall be feeding them now.
Check out the new photos and videos in the gallery. I also have a post about the kids in the works, about half way saved at the moment. I shall try to get that posted before they see the Dr next week when I’ll have a weight/height/length update and all that jazz.
