On Friday, December 21st, John and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. Hard to believe that it has been that long, since it seems like yesterday that we were graduating from college and just starting this life journey together. In the past 10 years we've had a lot of milestones....(1) John graduated from the fire academy and has been working as a firefighter for over 8 years now, (2) I graduated from law school and became an attorney, (3) we moved into our "starter home" and then into our home we plan to raise our family in, (4) traveled all over Europe for 3 weeks, (5) we had our first child and she is absolutely perfect and (6) although we hit a bump in the road trying to expand our family, with a little persistence and a tiny bit of medical intervention we are now expecting 2 more little bundles of joy! Of course there have also been the tough times....we've lost many family members, John's grandmother, both of my grandmothers, two of my aunts, and my uncle. On the other hand we've gained 4 nephews and a niece between the two sides of our families. Oh, and in the last 10 years I've been to Disney World 8 times, a Disney Cruise once and Disneyland for the first time...do you think I'm a little obsessed? I didn't think so either!
John had a very special anniversary planned and kept it a complete surprise for me. Friday morning started with a doctor's appointment (always nice to see our little kiddos on the big screen growing right on track) and then we headed over to our hotel for the evening - the Houstonian. We had 2 adorable gift baskets waiting for us in the room, one for each twin. Then we had a couples massage (mine of course was modified for the pregnancy) and I had a pedicure since in a month or so I won't be able to even see my feet. Then we had dinner at Brenner's and went to go see "This is 40." In the morning we had a nice breakfast and then headed back home to get ready for family to arrive for Christmas. We watched a little bit of cable while in the hotel room, since we don't have that at home, but realized we're not really missing much there....still glad we got rid of it.
When we got home, Jocelyn saw my pretty painted toe nails and of course wanted hers painted as well. For those that know me, know that I do not typically paint my nails and so I don't have a lot of nail polish around the house. I looked through the house and was able to track down a bottle of polish and so I painted Jocelyn's toes. She loved it!
