Forever I Do

Who knew that nine years ago today that we would seal our fate forever, that our lives would be where they are now. We thought this day was like any other day, just a job to be done and handled. Who knew what the last nine years have brought.

Through the rough and smooth, the good and bad, the pretty and ugly, we have been there for one another.

On this day nine years ago we made this pledge:

It is my intention to be your best friend, to respect and suport you, to work together with you to achieve those things that are important to us, to accept you unconditionally, and to share life with you throughout the years.

I loved you the day I met you, I loved you the day you proposed to me, I loved you the day you married me, I loved you the day we moved, I loved you the day we became parents for the first time, I loved you the day we became parents for the second and third time (all at once). I have and will always love you.

I love that you know I like my toast done on one side, I like tea in the summer and coffee in the morning, I love that you know I will be stubborn but always open to something new, I hate being dirty but I love playing in the mud, I love that you know me for me and that through all of this time you are still you and I am still me. That we are still us, and that we have ALL of us with the kids.

My best friend and enemy, my best debate partner and ally, my best idea expounder, my bodyguard, my wrestling mate, my shoulder, my ear, my lover, my ying and I your yang.

I would not change a thing. I have no regrets. I wish for nothing more than to have you by my side in all our adventures, fears, good times. I love you. Happy Anniversary.

Blog Anniversary Celebration

What a year...I cannot believe I have been blogging a full year with The Five Fish!! I started a year prior to that just posting pictures here and there, maybe some news about what the kids were doing, how my pregnancy with the twins was progressing.

I know!!! I was pregnant with the Squids when I started blogging!! HELLO!!!???
Can you say forever and a day ago?! Not really, but sure seems to be eons ago!

So I want to share a great anniversary and I am asking you....my faithful readers, friends, stalkers, family and of course PR, yes you PR we want you to come swim with the Fish. Let me know of some great and fab ideas! What would make a one year anniversary just super spectacular? A giveaway, some cool reviews, maybe just some super fun stuff like oh say "Guest Blogger" because I would so love a guest blogger. I have a few in mind so if you want to take a day off and come post something fabulous here for the Fishy Anniversary, or maybe say come use my space for a WHOLE WEEK and promote your cool swag send me an email and I would love to hear some super cool ideas and input. Now off to formulate some idears of thy own to share in a belated (that works for late anniversaries right? right?!) anniversary celebration!

P.S. >> I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday!! I saw some of you celebrated at home, on a lake, at a parade, all in all looks and sounds like everyone had a blast and was safe! OH, and my virtual BFF Stesha has some great news about her boy! So go on over and check her out!!
