so it isn't the best picture....but i'm in love with this guy! actually, princess took the camera and personally posed us for this picture. it was quite cute.
but, back to the guy in the picture. isn't he cute? this past saturday we celebrated 11 years of marriage. we had taken our annual getaway the weekend before so it was a rather quiet day. we had a wedding later that afternoon. i have to say that as i sat and watched the couple exchange their vows, i got a bit misty eyed. not just for the couple, but because i so vividly remember ours. hubby wowed me with his. and i know that 11 years later he still means them and has lived them.
i kinda joked with hubby that sine we didn't dance at our wedding, he owed me one at this one. he does not like to dance. so while i was on the dance floor with a friend and her kids the dj announced he was slowing things down. he then said this song was dedicated to us in honor of our anniversary. i was so excited and ran to get him. i didn't give him an option.
can i just say....it was so amazing to be dancing with him. i love him so deeply. and of course, they had chosen faithfully by journey, which is a favorite, but to stand so close and look into his eyes was like getting married all over again. when i look back and think about our life together it has definitely been a journey. there have been good times and some not so good, although i wouldn't trade those times for anything. he loved me through job changes, babies, and even the loss of our third child. he loved me through his own trials with politics, friendships, and work.
as i stood there that night and the past 11 years flashed through my mind i knew, without any doubt, although i guess i never had any doubt, that this guy was the only one i would want to have by my side....he told me that i hold his heart in my hands, and i treasure that greatly.
