James and I got married 10 years ago today
It wasn't a dream wedding
It wasn't a dream honeymoon
It wasn't perfect at all
BUT
It was fantasmical to James and myself.
That my friends is all that matters.
Lots of silly things happend 10 years ago today
We laughed because that is all we could do
Laugh and hold on to each other.
I have heard a crazy wedding = a great marriage full of happiness
I didn't even make that up!
I love him
He is mine
I am his
I like it that way
I love him because every time we travel
he makes sure there is a Starbucks near by for my Green Tea
I love him because he is an amazing daddy
I love him because he can make me laugh at the drop of a hat
I love him because I can make him laugh at anything
I love him because he has a freckle on his lip
I love his gray blue eyes
I love that he loves that I love being a Mama
I love him because he loves me with no eyebrows drawn on
I love him because he is big and makes me feel tiny
I love him because I can say out of the blue "Catch me!" and run accross the kitchen and jump like I am an ice skater and
he does catch me and raises me above his head like we are performing at the Olympics
I love that even though this Olympic routine isn't his favorite activity he will do it over and over until I am happy and can't stop laughing
I love him because he still thinks I am hot
I love him because he his hot
I love him because I told him not to buy me flowers this year
like he has for the past 9 years,
to please save the money for our trip to Vegas
He bought me my favorite perfume instead, Daisy
which is technically a flower....just not flowers.
I love him because what he posted on my FB wall today because he knew I would laugh:
"10 years ago I mumbled our wedding vows and made words up because I couldn't understand our spanish speaking pastor. We laughed the whole time as he stared at us like we were crazy. The on our honeymoon the air conditioner broke in our room, we got attacked by a centipede and I had to break into our hotel room with a n...ail because we locked ourselves out we were naked. May not sound perfect, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. The ten years in between haven't perfect by some standards I guess, but I can say I wouldn't go back and change anything. I love you and happy 10th my love."
Followed by this:
"It was almost 10 years ago that our baby girl cali was born. I remember that evening you were lying in the hospital bed and looked so beautiful. I leaned over and kissed you and whispered my special sweet love words in your ear. I saw I tear come from each of your eyes and I thought, ya I am smooth. You were so choked ...up you couldn't talk. It was at that moment I realised my hand I was leaning on you with was firmly placed on your freshly stapled incision. Smooth. I am very lucky your into romantic comedies and not fairytales."
I love him for thinking I was the funniest girl in the world to write this on his FB wall:
"Oh my love...remember our first Valentines Day. you were so smooooth....I surprised with a weekend get away. you had me the moment you did a flip from one bed to the other....you farted and your shorts came down and you hit the opposite wall which made you fall backwards onto the bed bouncing and then falling to the ground....oh memories of my sweet LOVA and his love ritual moves ♥
I never knew a man of your stature could be so nimble and flexible......"
I love how all of those stories were true and we still love each other
I love how I can think of a million things I love about him
I love how I can't stop saying love.....
He took his girls to dinner tonight to celebrate together as a family
here are some pictures...I promise I will stop saying LOVE now
Okay so I lied....
I love how he hates pictures but he still lets me take a million of them.
To Infinity and Beyond
Mrs. Smitty
(and proud of it)
P.S. My camera came back to life...it's a Christmas Miracle!
