wow!!! i can't believe it's been 10 years already since we said "i do". i really don't remember much of life without him, but at the same time, it seems like just yesterday we were giddy with excitement about our wedding. when i think of all we've been through, all we've learned, all we've seen, and all we've done, i can't help but be so thankful that God brought us together. i wouldn't want to live and experience life with anyone else. j is and has been everything i've ever prayed for as a husband, best friend, father and spiritual leader of our home. he's a great provider for our family, he loves us with all of his being. we're his world. we've "grown up" together, and learned to encourage each other to grow and discover who we are individually, while still holding on to, and growing along side of one another. i have more fun with him, than with anyone else. he makes me laugh harder than anyone, he encourages me to be a better me, and do what i want to do, he makes me feel like i can do anything i set my mind to. he's supported me in everything i decide to dabble in. i'm sooo thankful for him, and for the relationship we have. after 10 years, i love him sooo much more than the day i married him, and i know it's not even an ounce of how much i will love him in another 10 years.
that being said...grrrr...he's driving me crazy! lol! he has planned a 10th anniversary trip, and he won't give me one single clue. not anything. he's been very vague on telling me how i should pack. nada. nothing. ziltch. he won't give me any hints...just that i'll have a blast. so, of course i set out snooping. he's covered his tracks. i've called the hotels i think he would've reserved for us, nothing. i've looked up airlines to see if we have reservations, again, nothing. then i find out that my uncle, who is in san fransisco, has something to do with it...i can't for the life of me figure out why he would be involved. my head is spiraling with thoughts, ideas, maybe's, and not one thing is making any sense. oh, and j said that we need to remember to bring binoculars. binoculars??? what on earth? i told him he would not be a happy camper if he stuck me in a tree somewhere deer hunting, and called that an "anniversary trip". ;) he assures me that i'm going to love it, and that we'll have so much fun. i've told him from day one that i hate surprises. i only like them if i don't even know one is being planned. i loathe them when someone tells me they have a surprise for me, and i have to wait. patience is not one of my virtues, he knows this, and is loving watching me squirm.
anyway, he promised to tell me tonight after church. of course, i don't know if we're leaving tonight or in the morning...just another detail he won't let me in on...
don't get me wrong, i love that he's put so much thought and work into this, i really do appreciate it, but being the control freak that i am, it's hard for me to stand by and let someone have total control of planning. that's my job. lol! i am excited, but a little nervous too. i'm excited to have him all to myself for 5 days ( well, i think it's 5 days...who knows???), and the kids are excited to get to hang out with grandma and papa. j has big plans, the kids have big plans with the grand-parentals, and i have no clue about any of it. i'm completely out of control...and i don't like it.
regardless of where we go, what we do, or how we spend the next several days, i'll love the many new memories i will make with him. i'll love that newlywed feeling we still have after all this time. and i'll love and delight in the fact that i get to wake up next to this man for the rest of my life. that just might be the highlight of my trip.
