happy anniversary

March 20, 2009...eleven years and counting. we have been together since 10th grade and not just dating casually. we knew early on. we were a match, a team...two peas in a pod. I remember when Nick & Jessica had their show, sure they were hot, but you want entertainment...follow us around...now thats a luagh. we are genuinely happy. its easy with us. if it works we go with it if it doesnt we dont. sure there is a lot of compromise and there are fights peppered in over the years, but i cant always get my way can i??? sometimes i think so.

so to my dear husband i say thank you. thank you for the past eleven (really seventeen) years of trials and tribulations, knowing when to hold your ground and when to give in. and thank you for never giving up when it would have been all to easy to. for that i am truly greatful. i think to the future with an optimism like no other, i am excited at all of the laughs and the memories we have yet to make. as i watch our family grow i am more and more proud of what we have accomplished. far more meaningful and worthy of an job or promotion....our family.

time for catch up~

isnt that what life is all about...playing catch up??

SO superbowl sunday...exhausted as all get out, but barbs and the boys are coming over so i have to get things rolling. as i am making the food, i keep getting dizzy, nauseous, have to sit for a moment. i am wishing i stil didnt have symptoms of the flu but in any event i presson. i manage to have an enjoyable evening with them as the game was really good. our team lost but hey it was suspensefull, and the boys had a blast.

monday i call out sick and make a doctors appoinment. 5:45. great - we will go, ill get some scripts, well grab something to eat and lounge on the couch. right?? WRONG.

Doc: when was your last cycle?

Me: last month why you think im pregnant? as i chuckle...

Doc: could be...chuckles

Me: NOT! im on the patch, just had surgery, its too soon, we are waiting till dom is 5 and then we may or may not try...

Doc: shrugs - still could be.

Me: I WOULD FALL OFF THIS TABLE IF YOU TOLD ME I WAS PREGNANT!!!!!!!! as I get up to give a sample...

FIVE MINUTES LATER A NURSE WALKS IN WITH THE DOC...

Doc: smiles

Me: YOU are soooo playing with me~

Doc: no I am not - you are very pregnant...

Doc: where is mike

Me: in the car with dom, waiting for me <> i have to sit down.

Mike walks in the room with dom under his arm like a football, no shoes on, obviosuly he was horsing around in the truck...WHATS GOING ON?????

as I am hysterical: WERE PREGNANT!!!!!!!

he smiles ear to ear and lets out a huge sighhhhh...THATS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

My shock lasts a few hours....
