Our 12th Anniversary!

Today was our 12th Anniversary. It came and went without a lot of fanfare, but with a lot of retrospect on our marriage and how far we have come, as people, as spouses, and as parents. We celebrated each other with cards and words of love,that of course we cried over, (oh, and Hobo Hash for Shane). Now that we are parents celebrating our marriage and anniversary somehow has a different meaning and purpose, we find our relationship even closer and deeper than before. We also were able to take a few hours just for us to relax and enjoy a movie (in a real theatre, with other people, and yummy popcorn) thanks to Nina and Brian donating their time to care for Aedyn. (They also donated their muscles and helped Shane paint the new baby's room the day before.)

We couldn't help ourselves as we sipped our Starbucks drink after the movie (yes, I had a decaf sugar-free iced coffee) talking about Aedyn, we missed him!

Shane and I each dreamed of being married to the person of our dreams, and now we have we have the life we dreamed of; and with our son and one on the way we can build bigger and better dreams together as a family!
