12 years

Jason and I have been married 12 years- wow! It's amazing how different it is now, compared to the five years when we didn't have kids. Though there was less going on in our lives, it has definitely been more fulfilling and we have grown closer since we have had children. I always felt like a newly-wed for those first five years, and I have learned so much more about marriage and families since then. I am grateful for the power of prayer and inspiration and that we took the big step to be married when we did, it has been worth every minute of it!

We celebrated yesterday by going out to a small Italian restaurant. Then we did what we haven't done in years- we went to the movie theater! Since we just barely saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I from Netflix, we had to finish it off by seeing Part II in the theater, rather than waiting another year. It was worth it! The movie ended earlier than we thought and wanted to give the babysitter time to finish putting the kids to bed, so we enjoyed some yummy Kilwan's ice cream.

Here's looking forward to another 12 wonderful years!
