“ It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop. "
-Wisdom of Confucius


(The two photo collages below this are from our ‘early’ years together…)
Today marks 9 years since we met… since we were matched … paired…set up on a date…
9 Years ago today… I met the man I would spend the rest of my life with, the man that I now have children with, the man that makes me happier than I even knew was possible.
I truly can’t believe that 9 years has passed by already. It is honestly amazing how quickly life flies by without much notice – especially when you are blissfully enjoying it.
A quick recap… we had our first son, built our house, had our second son, gone through many vehicles, went to the Dominican for our first “alone” trip, got engaged, planned our wedding together, got married, many misc camping trips in between the years, birthdays, xmas’s, soooo many memories/highlights in 9 years…
I could go on and on and on for ages typing out memories and reasons why I love this man…. But it’s simple. I love him because he is him. His dry sense of humor, his realistic views, his amazingly unique personality, his generous and kind/loving heart, his immense knowledge of every little fact (like all the star wars characters names, or Christopher Columbus’ boats names….?? lol or that it costs almost 3 pennies to actually make a single penny….), the way he loves his boys (he is an amazing father)…and the way he loves me. I love Everything about him. Unconditional. He is my rock, my foundation, my strength…
I love him passed the heavens and back. Happy Anniversary … <3

mmmm… this was yesterdays dessert I made… the chocolate covered fruit for the kiddo’s and the cheesecake filled strawberries for the mum/daddy…. mmm…. thanks to lkxo for the tips and idea!!! This was a huge hit in the house… and so easy to make…..
lol… i love this pic… i was just looking at the trash the dress pics and this one made me laugh out loud… i remember posing for these alone in particular and Rob was standing in the distance laughing his head off at how i had to look serious for the pics until the waves would come crashing in my face… then compose myself again for another pose… lol… *sigh*…. had sooo much fun…

Im sitting here, in awe, soaking in the little moments…
my boys are sitting on the floor playing and giggling….
“Up High…
Down Low…
On the Side….. too slow ….
Cut the Pickle …..
Tickle Tickle!!!! “
They are having a blast…. and have been playing this game for almost 45 minutes now….
Each room of my house is jam packed full of toys, electronics, books, craft supplies… and they are sitting on the floor playing a clapping game…. these are the little moments that I love… and make a point to memorize for all the days to come….

…just going through some of the wedding photos….. ah…..my poor cake …. was doomed from the beginning…. as you can see it was carried so many times from the resort, onto a bus, passed the beach, on a motor boat… onto the big yacht where it is sitting on the counter here in the picture… so the layers started to slide/tip over…. but it stayed standing until the very end when we cut it and ate it all up….. and it was sooo good… it was a white icing (vanilla) cake with banana cream in the middle and was served with pineapples and pineapple sauce…. mmmmmm….
