A very lovely anniversary

Today is the date on which my husband and I chose to join our lives together.  An anniversary on a Monday doesn't seem very exciting.  Truly though, it has been very lovely evening.  I finished a major project at work over the weekend, and was able to leave work at 4 and not worry or stress about it.  When I went out to my vehicle, Andrew had snuck in at some point and put balloons and flowers in it.  It was so sweet!  He made us an amazingly fabulous dinner.  I should do the dishes, but right now we are both just crashing on the couch.  We even have a shot at a snow day tomorrow.  It is more likely for Andrew and Thomas, but we have a shot as well.

The best part of the evening has been the kids.  Catherine went back to school after being home for a few days.  My heart still catches when I get that notification that she has left home.  This morning though, I got to kiss her goodbye before I left for work, and we received a Happy Anniversary text when she got up.  Thomas bought us the most amazingly beautiful card.  I cried.  One of the things I love most about our anniversary is that it is the beginning of our family, and I am so amazingly blessed to be part of this family!
