Can You Say Easily Satisfied?

9 Years ago yesterday. Yep.

We HOPE to celebrate on the weekend. I was just enjoying a day in which I didn’t spend the WHOLE day feeling crummy and didn’t yell at my kids. Yay me.

Crunchy Husband had had a good work related couple of days…ego boosting stuff…that was HIS gift.

Oh and renting Halo 3.

So for our anniversary it was just nice to have a hassle free day.

Romance seems a bit passe when you are in the depths of depression and or exhaustion.

I think it does show though that the glue that holds us together is pretty tough and can ride the rough stuff with love respect and understanding that the makes the small things special.

Crunchy Husband has been fantastic lately.

He has had so much on his plate and is still trying to talk me down from hormone hell.

The poster above was put together by my mom and my uncle. It was considered quite appropriate by many because it seemed that many people did not think we would make it as a married couple. We had always fought a lot and there had been drama throughout our relationship…but we hung on. And yes, the first year of our marriage was hell. Neither of us had lived out of the home before. THAT was an adjustment. We were also dealing with my mother in law, whom had come pretty close to ruining the wedding and so it was a rocky start.

But we did it.

And we are still here.

And we are still happy. Despite all the bumps along the road. And yes we still fight. But we love each other very much. And more important, we LIKE each other. We are friends. We take care of one another. We have fun together. Still.

Crunchy Husband always reminds me to laugh at myself.

And what would we do without THIS woman either!

My lovely mom who has supported us through the good and the bad.   Who has bitten her tongue on MANY occasions, and tirelessly supported and helped us along the way.

Thanks mom.

And thanks for all the help lately while I languished around feeling sick and dizzy.   And thanks for STILL offering to babysit Saturday night.

Oh and despite all..it was a fantastic wedding if I do say so myself.
