Happy Anniversary, Always and Forever!

11 years ago tomorrow I became your wife. What an incredible journey. Look at our beautiful family. We are so blessed. I am so blessed. You are such an incredible husband. You are the best to me, far more than I deserve and I know I don't tell you often enough how much I appreciate all that you do for me. The man that you are, the friend, the father. I knew this life together we were going to build would be good but it's so much better than I could have ever imagined.
Thank you for loving me, for putting up with me, caring for me - allowing me to think I'm independent, yet gently taking over at just the right time and taking the lead. I thank God every day that he placed you in my life and that I have the opportunity to love you. Happy Anniversary, I look forward to so many more.

Growing Up... TOO FAST!

Here is our conversation Thursday night on our way home from Soccer practice.

Alex: "Why doesn't John ride the bus home anymore?"
Me: "There wouldn't be anyone at home for him to get off the bus with."
John: "Yeah, if I went home to Papa's I'd have to change school's. I'll probably have to be in the 10th grade before I can ride the bus home and stay by myself."
Me: "Maybe not that old."
John: "Yeah, you know we only go to 12 grades."

They sure do want to grow up fast don't they?!
