Happy Anniversary - 2014!

We celebrated our 11th Anniversary on May 10th.  I had originally thought we could have Aja watch the kids while we went out to eat a nice dinner or something.  Well, then the night came and #1 - Max was sick #2 - Aja was recovering and I didn't want to make her watch our kids #3 - Aja only had 2 nights here and so I didn't want to take away from our limited time with her.  So, we ended up staying home and saying that we would celebrate later.  (I knew that we wouldn't end up celebrating later but still felt we made the right decision despite my disappointment.)

Ahhh Sweet, Youthful Love

That sweet, youthful love has turned into mature love which is so much better.  Peter is such a great match for me.  Is our relationship perfect?  No.  That would be unrealistic.  But it is great.  He is a good partner and I am so grateful to him for putting up with me lately through my moodiness and demands of pregnancy and postpartum.  

11 Things I love about being married to Peter

1. He scratches my back whenever I need it.
2. He kills bugs so I don't have to.
3. He still makes me laugh out loud.
4. He hasn't complained about my weight in years - I appreciate that.  His silence about it makes me feel like he loves me regardless.
5. He encourages me to get pedicures.
6. I love that we have a history together.  It is special to me that we can talk about things we did together 18 years ago.
7. He knows my limits and standards and respects them.  For example - he doesn't push me to watch movies that I don't want to.
8. He loves and supports my extended family.
9. He's a smart guy!
10. He wants our little family.  He was the one pushing for us to have another baby (I didn't think I was ready yet).
11. He supports me being a working mom and has no problem taking care of things when I travel.

My present to Peter - a timer (not the twist kind, it's much cooler with buttons and lights) for the fan in the bathroom.  Now, he needs to install it. :)

Peter's present to me - he is going to install drip lines for the planters on the side of our driveway so I don't have to hand water the flowers!

For our anniversary, a few months ago I got us tickets to go see Dave Matthew Band in concert...and I didn't go with the cheapest seats possible.  That will be in about a week.  Can't wait!!
