After 9 years...

Yesterday was our 9th year Anniversary and as it flew by like all those years did, I started thinking about our marriage and all the days in between.

What I expected after 9 years...

* To still be married!
* To have a family
* To own a home
* To be completely comfortable with Trav
* That Trav would be able to read my mind
* God would let men have babies


What I never expected...

* For him to still kiss me like we were in college
* That I would be the one to pull away from his hugs first
* That I would NOT want to sleep tangled in his arms
* That he would make "whale sounds" in his sleep
* That he would still accept my wild creative side after all these years
* That he has never tried to change who I am
* That I could love him and be SO angry with him at the same time
* That reading bed time stories could be viewed as sexy
* That vacuuming & doing dishes could be such a turn on
* For him to still love me after all my obsessive behavior
* To be able to love Trav, admire, forgive, cherish, respect & adore him as much as I do today
* For us to be COMPLETELY opposite in EVERYTHING (except movies. We agree on most movies)
* To have finally found happiness, peace,confidence,contentment,strength,forgiveness and love within myself.
*To have the most beautiful babies in the world.
* That being in bed by 9:00 PM, eating ice cream, and watching James Bond for the 100th time would become what we look forward to after putting the kids to bed
