Anniversary

Greg and I got married on December 23, 2007...just 3 short years ago. Wow! 3 years and 2 babies and somehow we managed to sell out house and build a new one. We don't seem to have a track record of doing things in the order they are 'suppose' to be done. I remember when he proposed to me, he said "the correct amount of time to wait to do this is normally three years of dating, but I love you and really want to marry you". To him, everything is a specific calculation. To me, everything IS NOT. I rely on my gut and think with my heart. To some, it makes me reckless. To me, it makes sense.

True to love & marriage: I love him more today than I did then.

True to nature: I am becoming an little more like him and he is becoming a little more relaxed!

From the day we met (June 23), things have't been easy. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and with one surgery it was out. Doctors said we wouldn't have kids ( i still hate that doctor). Then a miscarriage, and then two babies, too early (sick).....It hasn't been easy. It hasn't even been normal yet! So we are waiting for normal and I think we decided this was our year!

I wouldn't change it. We can be crabby sometimes, but I wouldn't change it. I like having normal problems now, things like 'the kids sleeping in their own beds ALL night long'. And Rowen pushing her sister. Those things happen to everybody, right?

We are better, happier people. We are together. We love each other. And December 23 we celebrate that because we know we are here for a reason.

writers block

I wish I had writers block....more like chasing around a 2 1/2 year old and a newly crawling 7 1/2 month old. Maeve ate a stink bug yesterday while I was trying to get Rowen dressed to play outside. Boo! Then I felt awful because I was avoiding Maeve because she smelled l like a stink bug. WHAT KIND OF MOTHER AM I?

I leave for a much needed trip to Maine tomorrow for several reasons. 1) i need my sanity back. 2) we are going to see a really great doctor that is going to tell us some really great things. 3) i need to see my sister (it's kid of an addiction). 4) i miss Maine. 5) did i mention i am trying to procrastinate with the holidays?

Am i packed for a 12 hour trip with two little kids?

Not even a little.

But I am getting my hair done by the awesome Abby! whom i met 7 years ago! i know who travels 500 mils to get their hair done? I do.

More later....kids are waking up.
