Happy 10th Anniversary

June 6th, 2009 by melissa

Can’t believe 10 years ago I married my best friend. We gave each other cards and are just loving being together. Bret went out and got some bagels this morning, the kids loved it. We played inside for a while then Justin wanted to do bubbles, so we went out on the greenbelt. I got to walk the dog, Nicole. I went out to get my haircut and colored. Dad and the kids took scooters to the park and played lots of games at home. They met me for lunch. It was so weird being gone for 2 hours from the kids. After lunch I took the kiddos to the play ground at McDonalds. So funny the kids kept pointing to McDonalds saying they wanted to eat there. I asked Justin what he wanted to eat there and he said anything. Well of course they wanted to just go over there for the play area, so after a good lunch we headed over there.  When we got home I decided it was time to put on the good old wedding dress. Proudly I can say it still fits! Nicole loved seeing me all dressed up, she immediately went and put on her Cinderella dress. She loved me being a princess with her. We took some photos too:

After playing princess we looked for pirate treasure. Cracks me up how many times the kiddos can look for treasure, over and over again. The kiddos watched some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Then we went outside to play. Dad got the tent from upstairs and put it outside, Nicole enjoyed that. She ran up and got her sheet and pretended to sleep. Justin wanted to play soccer. It was a bit windy out so we took a chnace and grabbed the kites and walked to castle park. Unfortunately the wind wasn’t that great so kite flying was a little difficult. I love watching Justin run with his kite, it is so cute. Nicole had to wear her dog harness thing and pretend to be a dog. We went over to the play area. The kids wanted to swing. Justin lets out this big squel everytime daddy pushes him high. The kids also played in the sand for a bit. We came home and the kiddos played Leapsters while we made dinner. Daddy had to do some work (memory in a server). After dinner I did puzzles with the kids. The first one went well, Care Bears. The second one, Little People, I was having a difficult time having patience. We went upstairs and got ready for bed, jammies, brush teeth, etc. Justin’s clothes are on the top bar of the closet that he can’t reach. He is wanting to pick out his clothes, so I feel bad. I ended up moving his clothes to the bottom bar of the other closet. I have a bit more arranging to do tomorrow but I hope he likes the independence. A few books and the kiddos are sleeping with a lot of animals in their beds (barely room for them).

Happy 10th anniversary Bret. I just want to tell you how much I love you. The past 10 years have gone by so quickly. It is amazing what has happened in the last 10 years, moved to Foster City and bought a town house, adopted a puppy (Tracey-I miss you everyday), job changes, move back to Southern CA, got pregnant, became a stay at home mom, etc. We have a beautiful family and you are an amazing dad. Life can’t get much better than this. I love you with all my heart and look forward to our 50th wedding anniversary. Thanks for making me feel so loved and special.
