The 13th Anniversary . . . SERIOUSLY? July 17, 2010
Posted by Emily in : My Handsome Husband, Parenthood, Princess Hannah, Thoughts , 2commentsToday is our 13th anniversary.
I don’t think any other sentence could make me feel older. (OK, don’t start offering suggestions, I’m just sayin’ . . .) 13 years. WOW. Seriously? Where has time gone?
One of our favorite movies is The Family Man (2001). When we saw it in the theaters 10 years ago, I vividly remember a line Kate (Tea Leoni) said to Jack (Nicholas Cage): “How can you look at me like that? Like you haven’t seen me everyday for the last 13 years?”
I remember thinking, “Man, they have been married FOREVER!”
Well. Here we are friends.
We kicked off our anniversary last night by going to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City. Apparently, 10,000 other people had the same idea. Still, our seats were good and the entertainment was amazing. We then enjoyed a walk around downtown barefoot. OK, now before you gag and throw up a LOT in your mouth, just know that LOTS of other people decided to go barefoot as well . . . I should know better than to hoof it all over town in shoes not conducive to walking long distances. My feet felt so much better on the warm streets. David on the other hand, is always barefoot, so this was just a normal night, for him . . . walking around downtown SLC barefoot.
We came home to our sweet sleeping children, and thought about drifting off to sleep ourselves until . . .
BLEH! BLEH! BLEH!
What the heck?!
Hannah started vomiting! David stayed up with her all night while she vomited every 15 to 30 minutes while I got some shut eye. I knew I made a good choice when I picked my spouse!
Up next? David’s birthday, Hannah’s birthday, Jess’ wedding, Pioneer Day, and one big family party. (Not to mention four photo shoots next week! EEK!)
And that’s just the next seven days.
Oh boy!
I look forward to many more anniversaries with the one that God made for me!
