Happy Anniversary to me

Nine years ago today hubby & I started dating. Wow, has it really been 9 yrs?! Sometimes it feels that long, other times it doesn't. Hard to believe when I first met him at work I couldn't stand him. He pissed me off his first day by leaving an hour earlier than he was scheduled and we were busy. All the rest of us at work thought he was weird & would go crazy on us one day & kill us. Little did I know that he was the sweetest guy I have ever met in my life. We started closing together on Sunday nights & he would listen to me bitch about the jerk of a guy that I was with at the time. Finally we started hanging out as friends, then on May 6th 1999 we got drunk together he kissed me & we haven't been apart since. We were engaged & living together a month later, but not married until 2001. I love him more & more each day. Esp. now seeing how he is with our son, he is the best daddy ever and it's no wonder why K. loves him so much.

Anyway we didn't do anything today - lack of funds. However I did have a sweet note on my desk from hubby, it says Happy May 6th Anniversary xoxo & he colored in the words and drew (as best that he can, lol) Mickey & Minnie Mouse, so cute! I have quite a collection of these drawings that look like they were done by a 1st grader, they melt my heart though.

K. slept until 9:30 this morning. Last night he woke up at 11 & stayed up until 12:30, he screamed bloody murder for a good 15 mins. The screaming was so bad stepdad thought he was hurt. We gave him Motrin & oragel because we know it's those molars coming in. I took him to the pediatrician 2 wks ago cause I was worried it was an ear infection. He calmed down & sat in my lap while I watched a show then he climbed off the bed & went to daddy & sat on his lap while he played WOW. Then he came back to me & I took a drink of my water out of my cup that I got when I was in the hospital when I had K. The cup has a straw & K. was able to suck through it & get a drink for the first time last night. Of course I tried to have him do it again & he couldn't figure it out again.

This evening hubby & I were talking to mom about their vacation & we were trying to decide weather or not to go with them & my grandparents to Vegas this Sept. We decided not to since it would be too hard with K. & we wouldn't really get to do much with him. So instead we decided to visit hubby's parents in Seattle. We called them up & they said they would pay for the airfare up there, they were so thrilled. We have not been up there since they moved there 4 years ago. We decided August would be a good month since it will be super hot here & not so hot there. So we have already ordered out plane tickets! If that wasn't exciting enough I called my sister A. and told her that instead of Vegas we are going to WA & that in laws said her & I. can come up there & stay too! She is in OR so they can drive up there. I just looked it up & it is only a 7 1/2 hr drive. A. thought it was 11 hrs so that is better. Anyway I am now super excited! I miss A. so much. It was different when my brother B. moved up there, A. is my best friend & it has been so hard without her near me for the 1st time in our life. I know she is homesick too, all of us here have been taking bets on when her & I. will move back home. I know I. wants to stay there, he is from CA but if A. wants to come back home I know he will let her. I hate to say it but I hope that happens soon, I hate being apart from her. We are so close that we are like twins, we always know what the other one is thinking. We make the same facial expressions, that gets weird when we do it at the same time it is like looking in a mirror (even though she is skinny as a rail & I am as big as a cow.) We even both found our first gray hairs in the same weekend & didn't know the other had found theirs until later that week. We call ourselves the twins born 7 years apart, lol. I am the oldest of 4 & she is the youngest, we have 2 brothers in between us. Our other brother T. lives down the street from me, he is S.'s dad plus 3 other little cutie pies.

Geesh I just realized it is after 11, it is time for me to get in bed & read.
