10 Years!!

As of August 9th, we have been married 10 years. Woohooo! Made it to the double digits! We are a bit superstitious about our anniversary. Of our 10 anniversaries, we have spent two in the hospital with sick kids (Josh's sisters with E. coli and Guildy with a kidney infection), two consecutive years violently ill with stomach flu, two when we weren't even in the same country, and 3 travelling to other people's weddings. Thus, we always think we ought to take cover and hide out as August 9th approaches. Fortunately, nothing bad happened this year, aside from me having to get a tooth pulled a few days prior to our anniversary. 

Josh's mom and sister took Hadley and Talby for the WHOLE WEEK of our anniversary, while Josh and Guildy and I worked feverishly (figuratively and literally in the triple digit heat) on our sweet 1956 Spartan trailer house. Incidentally, this will be the 10th house we have lived in since we got married. As my brother says, "Home is where you live.....right now." Anyway, the ability to work together and unhindered by the perpetually rummaging 1-year-old was the best gift I've ever received:o) 

We did make time for a bike date on our anniversary. Chinese food,  ice cream cones, and good company:o) Josh even pulled out his Wedding Shirt, which he wore for our wedding and to every wedding we've attended since.
