fourteen

Darren and I got married fourteen years ago today. I can't believe it's been that long (truth be told, I just can't believe that we're old enough to have been married that long). We've had great years, good years, in between years and some really rough years in our fourteen years of marriage. I am happy to say that the past year has been the best we've had so far. It's been so good and I can't wait to see what the next fourteen years bring. I know it won't always be easy, but no matter what, it will always be worth it!

We are not going to celebrate our anniversary until later this month with a getaway to Dallas for some shopping and relaxation. I can't wait!!! For today we didn't really do a thing to celebrate. Darren had tactical team training all day which always wears him out. I made a quick dinner once D got home as we were planning on rushing out to both Connor and Cale's ballgames tonight. They both ended up being cancelled due to some stormy weather so we came back home and as I type this D is already in bed sound asleep (it's only 9:30 pm!). Not an exciting anniversary, but one that's true to our real life.

I did get some pretty flowers though...

That man of mine is such a stinker! I knew what he was up to and I told him NO flowers because I already had a dozen beautiful roses filling my vase (I got them from D when my grandpa died last week). So, D went and brought me home a smaller arrangement that he said was just enough to fill my smaller vase. They're beautiful....and so is he!

D gave these to me last week. So pretty and so thoughtful.

Can I just say that I could've never imagined that this is what our family would look like fourteen years after we were married!?! Never in a million years would I have dreamed that we'd be the parents of THREE brown-eyed boys. But goodness am I thankful for the blessings God has bestowed upon us!
