Celebrating 9 years together

This Wednesday my hubby and I will have been together as Husband and wife for 9 years. We've actually been a couple far longer, going on 16 years. Whoa!!!! Where does the time go??? We aren't going to be able to celebrate on the 20th because, of course, DH has a soccer game. So we made a day of it today. Bailey was with Grandma and Jess, our very favorite babysitter, came down to stay with Peyton and Reagan. It was so nice to spend some time together w/o the munchkins. As much as I love them, I miss my individual time with my love. We didn't do anything super special, but it was still great to be together. We ate lunch, and then did some damage at the mall. Well, we actually walked a lot and spent a little, thinking more about Christmas shopping for the little 'uns. My, how things have changed. We enjoyed a nice dinner at our favorite Indian Restaurant before picking up Bailey and going home. Back to the mad house. But I'm so thankful I've got it.
