Intentions

With the best of intentions I had planned to write a beautiful post about today....I planned on taking time in the previous weeks to work on it slowly, take time to reflect on it all, and say all the right things. I planned on digging through the boxes that are packed to post a pic or two from our wedding. BUT- it didn't happen that way.

With the best of intentions I had planned on telling Bosch in a sweet romantic, possibly funny, card how he is the most amazing man, father, and leader of our family and that I never imagined years ago just how blessed I would be to have him as a husband. BUT- it didn't happen that way.

With the best of intentions I had planned on taking time to find a great gift to present to Bosch to celebrate today....something that says "this is a really big deal." BUT-it didn't happen that way.

With the best of intentions I had planned to make today our day, spending the whole day together doing something we enjoy as a couple...relaxing, fun, vegetative, whatever. BUT-it didn't happen that way.

Instead, Bosch worked all through the night, came home around 8 am for a piece of cake (yes, breakfast/cake...it is a combo that sometimes happens in our house), we opened up cards and gifts from family (not from one another...he didn't get me a card or gift either), and then he went back to work on our house. We may see glimpses of each other this evening when I go to the house to work on it...but I guarantee it will not be relaxing, all that fun, and definitely not vegetative.

BUT- I really wouldn't want to spend our 10th anniversary any other way. This is our life and we love it. Sometimes it seems that with the best of intentions we try to make something good when God has plans to make it great. I love you!

Celebrated.

Meow Meow is now 8!

Princess P will soon be 5!

PP just wanted a pretty girl cake this year.

MM wanted a Mario Brothers cake...this was a very toned down version of what he wanted (I nearly fainted at the original quote from our cake lady!)

The kiddos are a year older (well, actually only MeowMeow is) and we recently celebrated. Princess P had her bday at the same time due to the house being built and an upcoming move. This is the third year we've had their party together at a local pizza joint and I must be honest...although i can't wait to welcome people into our home next year, the idea of no pre-cleaning, food preparation and post-cleaning has been more than a treat for me!
