Two Years

On October 4th, Todd and I celebrated our two year anniversary. And the last two years have flown by. We have been so busy, Todd with work and me with student teaching and the kids, I didn't think we'd get to do much on our anniversary since it was on a Tuesday. And also, Todd had mentioned in the morning celebrating on the weekend. So I was very pleasantly surprised when these arrived. Todd is so romantic; he called Maida's and told them he wanted someone who could deliver them after I got home. The woman knew him from elementary school and offered to do it herself when she was headed home. Adam LOVED them as usual...flower, flower he said. Pretty. He wanted to stand on a chair and smell them. He was in Adam obsessed mode and I put a single one in a vase for him the next day to help Bobby through his obsession. Which he still had to take away from him eventually because he wasn't even eating his meals because he wanted to smell (insert Adam's big sniffing here) his flower. I love Adam's personality :) I just had to toss them sigh. Adam came into the kitchen and wanted a dead one...I let him walk around in the kitchen for ten minutes playing with it. Sad that they die, but of course one promptly went into my dried flower jar . Then he surprised me even more by coming home at 5:30pm to take me to my favorite restaurant, Delmonico's in Syracuse. I really thought we'd be going some place on the weekend! Bobby had made us some stuffed shells even because I told him we didn't have time to go out (which I ate the next day). We were seated in our customary corner since we started bringing TWO little kids. Little Abbey was having fun... Adam scarfing down the bread basket, one of his favorite things in life (OK, side note, Adam calls rolls and Italian bread "butt". He knows it's bread, but his Daddy has always said "do you have a butt" when I have Italian bread because its his favorite part and Adam just picked up on it. It's both embarrassing in public when he asks the waitress for Butt and funny.) My handsome husband...who loves his picture taken as much as I do! The kids LOVE penne pasta...more than pizza. And we had a family dish of Tiramisu...my favorite. Abbey's too, it seems. That girl knows how to enjoy her deserts! A wedding anniversary is mostly about the couple, but I think for us it's about celebrating as a family, too because of how it all happened so close together. Dinner wouldn't have been the same without the A-team. After hours desert, however, was JUST for us tehe.

I'm so lucky to have this guy; the love of my life I have never felt more like myself and never been more content or happy in my entire life. Time is flying by too fast.
