Shelves

Do you know what my husband did? I was lamenting to him that I was overwhelmed with all of the stuff we have and the chaos in our house. He didn't say much (not that it is unusual for him to be quiet) but then he said he was going to Home Depot. When he came home he had shelving units. He'd bought four for downstairs and one for each of the kid's closets. They were pricey but he said it was a start to our trying to tame the chaos. YEah! He loves to do that kind of thing for me and I love that I can tell him anything and he will work hard to fix it if he can. What a guy!

Looking back at my wedding day.

I love this picture of me and my dh. It had been such a stressful day trying to pull off the wedding and by the end of the night I was just exhausted. This picture was taken as I was just starting to unwind and enjoy myself. I love the way we're looking at each other, as if there wasn't anyone else in the room. After 12 years my feelings for him have intensified. I admire him more, trust him more, and give more of myself to the relationship than I did in the beginning. It's great that after 12 years and four kids we can still have a lot of fun together, laugh a lot and support each other. I don't have to tell him how I feel sometimes he just knows by looking at me what's going on. What's important is that we've grown together. I hope in another 20 years we'll be this same way...just more wrinkled with bad eyesight.
