10 Blessed and Happy Years!

Our 10th anniversary seems like the perfect time to do a top 10 list...

10. (3rd) Having a Sulk--We don't fight, but we do occasionally have crabby moments. On our third anniversary we had one during our lovely dinner out.

9. (2nd) Ranger School--Husband being food and sleep deprived in another state while wife is 1st trimester sick and caring for year-old twins. Of course, no phone calls from Ranger School.

8. (6th) Afghanistan--This rates above Ranger School simply because Bill could call.

7. (10th) The Plague--Bill will be home from Airborne School tomorrow, but the rest of the family is either sick right now, getting over being sick or about to get sick.

5. (7th and 8th) The Nonniversaries--We can't remember them.

4. (9th) Total Disconnect--I was out working on a homeschool conference and then went to a dinner for the planners. Instead of meeting me there, Bill used the sitter we had lined up so he could take Anthony to the ER to get his foot x-rayed.

3. (4th) Command Team Dinner--We got to spend the evening with the battalion and company commanders of Bill's unit. Well, at least we were in Hawaii....

2. (1st anniversary!) Waffle House--Uncle Charles babysat, but in the small town where we lived the only "restaurant" open was the Waffle House. We ate smoke with a side of grease for dinner.

and..........

1. The Best Anniversary so far was our 5th. Friends graciously offered to watch our 4 kids (including a breastfeeder) while we stayed overnight in downtown Honolulu. It was really a lot of fun until Bill got hit by a car as we were walking to breakfast.

May we be blessed with another 10 wonderful years of marriage. :)
