Our 4th wedding anniversary! Yay. Husb and I have been together for a grand total of 7 years, but made it official on October 8, 2005. I married my best friend who dances with me, watches documentaries with me over and over again, listens to throwback jams from the 80’s and 90’s, laughs at the same goofy jokes, and loves to snuggle (especially after love-making). Happy anniversary honey bun!
We had a wonderful ceremony in Las Vegas (no Elvis impersonators) at Mandalay Bay where 60 close friends and family joined us for a fun weekend. I remember we planned it around Columbus Day, assuming some people would be off work. It worked out and everyone who came had a blast gambling and checking out the sights.
It was a whirlwind day, cloudy and rainy in the morning and by the time of the ceremony, the sun came out and it was beautiful. 
Reminds of me of the last 4 years dealing with my difficulties in getting and staying pregnant, the loss of our twin boys, the stress from dealing with Dom’s mom’s crap, and in the end, our ultimate blessing of sunshine…Amethyst.
Extreme close up!
Thanks for sticking through all of it. It was not easy, we’ve fought countless times and have made up just as many. When the social workers told us the sadness of our loss could break us apart, we stuck together. And this last pregnancy was not easy at all, but he held my hand through every appointment. And when I was hospitalized with pulmonary edema/toxemia, he spent the night with me playing dominoes and offering moral support,worried about living without me. I couldn’t live without him either.
Now every year we do something big and bold, but this year, with MeMe still too little to be dragged out in the in night and mom too sick with a cold to watch the baby, we stayed home eating a 3 course meal as take out from Applebee’s. Yummy and just as awesome.
Next year he promises a cruise. We definitely deserve one!
Happy Anniversary!
