10 years....wow...10 years!

Tomorrow is Josh and mine anniversary.  Its actually our TEN YEAR anniversary.  I swear the last 5 years snuck by us!

There have been many, many changes over the last 10 years...Im only going to list a few (the list will probably be longer than I initially am thinking, but hey, 10 years is kind of a big deal!)

- got married
-bought our first house....and learned many lessons in our 'money pit' but made so many memories....
-After a few years of trying, a scary but treatable diagnosis, we started the descent (or climb) into parenthood....and met our "princess", our "Junebug" Athena.
- a couple of job changes for both of us, and we  moved to our townhouse in south burlington
- Surprise! (well sort of a surprise..) we were pregnant again!  found out it was a boy..excitement!!
- 2008 Caleb was born, and life has been even busier!!
- 2010 after some disappointment, job loss etc....we planned a big change for our little family
-moved to delaware!  super scary, but such a blessing for us.  met some great people, and learned that I could handle things, and I got to be a full time SAHM....and I really liked it.
-2011 moving again.....back to VT! Good  job offers
- Athena started kindergarten....our "baby" was in school....when did this happen?!
-2012 Athena is in first grade and Caleb is in preschool, and I am 1 year away from being 35....I guess I am officially a grown up!  :)

So there are lots more things I could list, but I dont want to bore you with  potty training, losing teeth, car accidents, gerbil murder....

Tomorrow I will celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary.  Did I think things would be different. Yes. Am I disappointed that things didnt turn out how I thought.....not really. I do wish we hadnt had to go through some of the things that life dealt us, but those things made us stronger individually and as a couple.  Do I want to change things? yes (housing is top of the list!) Do I love my husband? Yes. Do I love my kids? Yes.

I would love to say tomorrow night we are going out, and having a real date, going to a movie, getting a sitter, but the truth is Josh has to work semi late, so I am getting outback to go, and the kids will be in bed by the time he gets home so we will have our dinner and a movie "date".

I dont have any pictures on the computer of our wedding...Im going to see if I can find one and get it scanned to facebook tomorrow...we looked so young!  :)
