six years

Saturday, Dave and I celebrated 6 years together.  I was already in KC for Premier's Regional Conference - so Dave joined me Sat. evening and we stayed an extra night just to have some time together. 

 

I didn't get to spend much of the day with him on Saturday, but I loved looking forward to seeing him when the conference was over. He picked me up from the hotel I had stayed at for the conference and we headed to another hotel for the night, just around the corner.

Our hotel was just 2 blocks from Power and Lights district, so we ate dinner at Bristol. It was a first for us, and VERY yummy! 

There was a theatre right there too, so we decided to see True Grit. Have you seen it?  Did you like it?  I let Dave pick the movie, I really wanted to see Little Fockers, but it didn't play till 10, and we didn't want to kill time till then.  So True Grit it was.  I slept through about half of it.  Mostly because I was really tired, but also because I was really not interested.  I'm totally not into Western movies.  So I wouldn't really suggest it - unless you're doing it for your hubby.  Then of course, go.  And maybe try not to sleep.  But in my case, it's fair.  Because he falls asleep at 90% of all the movies we ever go to.  He fell asleep during Tangled - while Mason, Taylor and I were enthralled.  But not because he didn't like it.  Just because he really is tired.  So I don't think he cared that I was asleep.

As much as I love our 2 little kiddos, I love mornings that we can both just sleep till we wake up.  No little fingers tapping us till we open our eyes.  No "I'm hungry".  No "Can I get in bed with you?"  (although I'd pick that one most days over the "I'm hungry").  And no "Mama, are you done sleeping?" 

We headed to breakfast at Denny's (one of my favorite things!) and then headed home.  We got a call during breakfast from someone that wanted to see our house.  So we said we'd be back by 1.  But our car had a different idea.

The battery died while we were driving, so we were stranded on the side of the interstate.  With semis racing by us with their tires on OUR side of the white line, so close that we could FEEL them as they went by.  It was scary.  And cold.   Had it not been so cold, I'm pretty sure I would have been sitting off in the grass away from the interstate, and not in the car scared to death we'd be hit.  But it was really really cold. 

Thank goodness we didn't have to wait all that long (maybe 30 minutes), before a friend came to rescue us.  Her husband is a fireman and couldn't get away from the station to help us, but she came.  And Dave's dad headed to KC to get us.  We actually did get the car jumped - so we headed home again.  Just in case, we had my FIL continue our way.  Which was a good thing.  About 30 minutes later it died again.  So again, we were on the side of the interstate.  We ended up just pulling the car back home. 

And after all that, we missed the house showing.  

On the up-side - it snowed today!!!!  Finally!

It was really snowy and icy for our wedding 6 years ago - so I loved waking up to snow in KC this morning!

I really do love winter.  Obviously, enough to plan a winter wedding.  There aren't too many January weddings - BUT, I did run into a girl from my sorority in college staying at the Crown Plaza where I was Friday night - and she was getting married on Saturday - YAY for January 8th weddings!

Happy Anniversary Babe!

I've loved every minute of the last 6 years - even the tough ones - because they were with YOU!

I don't deserve you - but I'm so glad I got you! 

Never knew I could love you so much more than I did the day I walked down the isle to you. 

I'm looking forward to a lifetime more of US.
