grateful for...eleven

it's been eleven years that hubby & I have been married. As each anniversary comes around we can't help but look back, reminisce on how it all came to be.  Looking at photos, surrounded by our dearest friends & family.  We have a chuckle about how we 'hooked up'.  He asked me to dance at a reunion ball, I thought it was a pity dance, he couldn't believe I said yes.  I was forever single, waiting for my prince, he had just ended a relationship.  And right there on the dance floor, a surprising & unexpected magic...

Months passed & we came together again at a mutual friends birthday, went for a drive admired the stars, watched the sunrise holding hands, and talked all night but still had never kissed.  A couple of months on & we made sure we sought each other out at a christmas do.  We kissed & made a dinner date for the following night, boxing day 1993.  I almost cancelled, the weather was atrocious, my car not so reliable, and my nerves were getting the better of me, but in the end I went, and my parents didn't see me again for 3 days!  I called them from a local phone booth assured them I was fine, more than fine, in love!  Eighteen years on, and 11 years married, 3 beautiful, beautiful children, a life by the sea & we are happy...

Happy Anniversary beautiful husband, you are my world...
