9 Years

In honor of us being married 9 years, these are the top 9 reasons why I love my husband-

1. He loves me unconditionally.
2. He is such a wonderful Daddy.
3. Definitely a hard worker.
4. We are so much alike and have the same interests.
5. I love the little things he does that shows how much he cares.
6. He knows when to listen and when to share advice.
7. He is patient with not only the girls, but with me too.
8. He's always willing to help others.
9. He's very thoughtful. Every holiday I am stumped on what to get him but he never fails to find something I absolutely love. .

Josh and I finally celebrated our Anniversary last night. He was out of town for our Anniversary and I woke up to this text-  "Happy Anniversary!! Thank you for everything you do everyday. You are a wonderful wife and mother and I don't tell you enough. Try and have a good day. I love you so much. Go look on our closet shelf behind my jackets......."So I looked and found a big wrapped box and the sweetest card. Inside the box was a brand new laptop. Seriously....he is the BEST!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new laptop. I finally have everything transferred and I'm enjoying how fast it is!

So Saturday we left the house around 1:30pm. Josh had no clue where we were going, I just put addresses in the GPS and that is where he drove. First I have to say that there are not a lot of choices of places to go around here that we haven't been before. We didn't want to spend a lot of money and I'm not very creative so it's not like our date was very extravagant, but we had a blast! So first up was
Outback because that is our favorite restaurant. We had teriyaki sirloins washed down with Wallaby Darned's. Super Yummy!

Then we went to see a movie. The theatre we went to didn't have many options and I was hoping to see 5 Year Engagement but that was no longer there. We ended up seeing What to Expect When You're Expecting and it wasn't very good. And no, we didn't get any ideas. No more kids for us!

After that we headed to Fountain Hills (we were in Scottsdale) where we went bowling. Cosmic bowling actually. lol. I had bought a Groupon deal and it was fun. I can't tell you the last time either of us went bowling but we were both getting strikes left and right. Josh more than me but I was proud of the few I got.

After that we went to the fountain where Josh proposed to me 9 1/2 years ago. Unlike that day, we did not lock the keys in the car (ya Josh locked the keys in the car the night he proposed and my Mom had to rescue us). We haven't been back since the night he proposed so it was crazy to look back at how much our lives have changed since that day!

We went to the casino after we left there, but we just ate and left. I can't deal with the cigarette smoke very well. I was getting a headache.

We had a wonderful day and we're thankful for my Mom for watching the girls. She said they were angels.

Happy 9th Anniversary babe! Here's to many, many more!!!
