Happy Birthday Mommy!

The 13th anniversary of 25 was splendid :-)

 Though I missed G so much, my three little blessings spoiled me.

Alli had a tough time sleeping the night before so she climbed in bed with me.

Super sweet to wake up and see that precious sleeping face first thing on my birthday.

All three were super excited to go to Panera for a "my" birthday breakfast.

Alli enjoyed a cinnamon roll, Eli a chocolate chip muffie, and Luke a cinnamon bagel.

Alli couldn't wait to give me the presents she had for me.

The card was precious and I LOVE the earrings she made me and my new "blingy" lanyard!

Lukey was extra sweet and gave me his Baby Ducky for my present ~ that is TRUE LOVE!!!

Baby Ducky is his most special lovey that he's had since birth.  

I told him I would share a snuggle with Baby Ducky then give him back :-)

It was a long day with the kiddos' activities but when I got home, I walked in to find beautiful roses from my handsome hubby, cards from family and a thoughtful gift from a wonderful friend.  

I felt so loved!

One of my early presents was an incredibly fun, bright pink bike.
I've been having the BEST time going for bike rides with the little fish!!!

Poor Eli cannot understand why I would want a pink bike instead of blue but he enjoys our bike rides.
We cannot wait to get to Kansas and go for bike rides as the Fisher Five :-)

It's been a great birthday celebration but it's not over yet . . .
The fun will continue on Friday when we have dinner with family to celebrate.

14 Glorious Years

Tonight, we got to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary with a quiet dinner for two at one of our favorite waterfront restaurants thanks to our best man (Uncle Z) who graciously agreed to watch the three little fish for a couple of hours.  It was a perfect evening!!!

Our sweet pink fish was our photographer and dictated our poses :-)

Tomorrow . . .

I go in for my partial thyroidectomy, where the surgeons will remove the middle and right portions of my thyroid in order to biopsy a large follicular neoplasm with hurthle cells.

Here I am the day before surgery.

I have so many posts that I need to catch up on but for now they are on the back burner.

This weekend has been about connecting with family and friends.

After Eli's t-ball game yesterday, we went to park and had fun playing, 

something I don't do nearly enough with my munchkins.  

It was a hoot riding the teeter-totter, all five of us on it at one point, Daddy really got it going!!!

After church today, there was cleaning and playing to do.

The kiddos went back and forth between being super sweet and super naughty,

so I guess it was a perfectly normal day :-)

Right before going to bed, Alli came down to give me another hug and decided we should pose for pictures at the computer ~ she can be so sweet and silly!!!

While I definitely feel some anxiety about tomorrow's procedure and the biopsy outcome, 

I am feeling more peace tonight than I expected.  It helps so much to know that God already knows what will happen and will prepare all of us to handle whatever comes our way.

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.  Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."  1 Peter 5:6-7

Surprise!!!

On Sunday {the day before my birthday} Alli went to a birthday party for one of her friends.

I took Alli and Daddy stayed home with the boys for "a relaxing afternoon" or so I thought ;-)

When we got home, we saw the grandparents' cars in the driveways and balloons on the door . . . 

Daddy and the boys had been busy!

As I opened the door, sweet little Eli ran over shouting SURPRISE!

He was so proud and excited!!!

Turns out that Alli was NOT in on the surprise and LOVED it too.

I haven't had a surprise party since I was 21 and that wasn't keep secret very well so I was stunned.

My hubby did an awesome job of making me feel loved and special.

After eating it was time for cake and I had lots of little helpers . . . 

Luke really wanted the sprinkles, Eli wanted frosting and Alli wanted to lick the candles,

which she pointed out were incorrect because "Mommy is already 26 Daddy, now she's 27!"

Hey, I will happily take 27 :-)

After enjoying lots of cake, Eli declared it was time for presents and got out the special chair.

He was such a little love bug ~ kept coming up to tell me how much he loved me!

G said he was so excited at the store that he kept telling everyone it was Mama's birthday.

Love his sweet heart!

During presents, I had lots of helpers again . . . 

Alli was so precious and made me a frame with a rainbow, and also gave me a granola bar, bracelet and one of her dollars ~ I was feeling very special that I ranked high enough to get one of her dollars!!!

It was such a fun evening!

Only downfall was that little Lukey has a cold and was a bit out of sorts, but it did lead to some snuggles.

And my sour gummy worms definitely intrigued him.

What a fun surprise party!!!

My actual birthday was lots of fun too . . . 

Ducky Gramma was kind enough to watch Lukey since he wasn't feeling great so I could volunteer at Alli's school in the morning, where some very lovely friends brought me hot chocolate and a card.

Eli and I played with Alli at recess ~ they were adorable together ~ before getting Lukey.

It was a relaxing afternoon at home with the boys.

G gave me the BEST gift by getting off work early and picking up Alli from school.

More present opening with three great helpers . . . 

 Alli was so sweet and had Daddy stop at Target so she could buy me a present with her own money.

Swedish Fish ~ she knows Mommy's fave!!!

My family took me to Red Robin for dinner and the three kiddos LOVED my free dessert!

A fabulous day to turn 26, oops 27 I guess ;-)

Trolley Ride

Today was the last day of First Grade Camp for Alli so we all decided to ride the Trolley around the Harbor

Being that I was/am a HUGE fan of Mister Roger's, this was a dream come true for me too!

And, the kiddos have been begging to ride it all summer.

It did not disappoint!!!

I was impressed by how well they did given that it was about an hour ride.

They had so much fun changing seats and checking out the Harbor.

For $.25 per rider over 5 years old, I highly recommend it!!!

An Answer to Prayers

I love God, I believe in His mercy, and I know that I am saved through Jesus Christ. BUT I don't know if I have understood the real power of prayer until this past weekend. I give all thanks and glory to Him.

What am I talking about? Where do I even begin??? I guess at the beginning of my heart troubles.

In the Fall of 2001, I started having heart palpitations and episodes of fainting due to an extremely fast heart beat (300+ bpm). I was hospitalized for three days in October 2001 due to the fast heart rate, but there were no answers as to why. I saw a cardiologist who decided it was inappropriate sinus tachycardia and started taking Atenolol, which I was on until 2003. It didn't work, just made me feel worse because it lowered my already low blood pressure. I learned to live with the episodes and they seemed to lessen. At least until 2009, when they picked back up again. We had moved back to WA by then so I saw a new cardiologist who disagreed with the diagnosis of sinus tach but didn't diagnose it. Fast forward to this Fall . . . The episodes picked up with a vengeance and became worse than ever in frequency, duration and intensity. One day was so bad I went to see my doc (or rather one of her colleagues) who, without doing an ECG, said I was simply suffering from anxiety from having anxiety - craziest thing I'd ever heard. The episodes continued but I refused to go back to my doc after that.

Then, on Friday Jan 18 something changed, the episodes were coming almost nonstop. I felt lousy and it showed but it wasn't until Wednesday Jan 23 that I sought help. Why then? because I had an episode while driving with Alli, Eli and Luke in the backseat. I was able to pull over and my parents came to get us. Dad took me to Urgent Care, where I was taken by ambulance to the ER. The doc could see something but the heart wasn't racing at that point. He sent me home with beta blockers and instructions to contact and see the cardiologist within a week. I called multiple times and finally, Friday at 4pm, I was able to talk to the scheduler. I started having even worse episodes that day and the heart was up to 264. It was taking me to the floor. After we put the kiddos to bed, G took me to the ER.

The whole way there I prayed God would show the doctors what was happening so they could help me. Of course when we got there the heart had calmed down. I continued praying that God would show the doctors what was wrong. We sat there for over two hours feeling like we were wasting their time but I prayed like I've never prayed before and then it happened. My heart rate jumped to 250 bpm and went into atrial fibrillation. I couldn't breath or move. It felt like an eternity before the medical personnel came to the room. The heart rate wasn't slowing at all so they gave me a shot of adenosine, to momentarily stop my heart. The doctor told me it would "hurt like hell" and he wasn't kidding - OUCH! That didn't slow it by itself and they gave me 7 rounds of another drug every couple minutes. Finally it went back to normal but by that point, I was wiped. I was admitted to the hospital.

God answered my prayers in a big way - I had never felt so awful before. I knew it was God's perfect timing because the ER doc told us he was on his way to discharge us when the episode happened. The next day, the cardiologist stopped by to tell me that I supra ventricular tachycardia and based on the severity of the attack, I needed a catheter ablation. Given my repeated episodes, the cardiologist said I had to stay in the hospital until they would transfer me to a Tacoma hospital on Monday. Wow! God is so great. He showed the doctors what they needed to diagnose and cure me.

It was a tough weekend being away from my family other than short visits but I was shown God's grace and mercy in the kindness I received from so many. I truly am overwhelmed by the love and support our family has received throughout this ordeal.

I took another ambulance ride this morning and by noon, my procedure was beginning. Turns out, I'm a tough one to sedate - the doc told G and my folks they gave me about 10 times the amount they typically give to a much larger person! The procedure took about three hours and turned out to be more complicated as the doc found not one, but two electrical abnormalities. Thankfully, he was able to damage those wires and believes that will be sufficient to cure the problem. I was back in recovery around 3:45 and then admitted to the hospital floor, where I was to remain still, on my back for four hours. When I was finally able to sit up, I started bleeding so back on my back I went with a fun pressure belt. Finally at 9:20 pm I got to sit up and by 9:40 I finally got to walk and go to the bathroom. I walked the floor a couple of times and am now just cherishing the fact that I am loved and protected by God.

I'm hoping and praying I will be home by tomorrow afternoon, I miss my babies so much.

Praise God for all he has done and will do.

A new beginning

This week marks the beginning of a new era for me . . .

As of July 3, 2012, I am officially a full time, at home Mommy.

It feels strange but wonderful at the same time.

I interviewed with Bingham McCutchen LLP in September 2002 for a summer associate position.
Ultimately, I decided that was the best fit for me and accepted the offer.

 I spent the summer of 2003 being wined and dined while doing exciting legal work.

At the end of the summer, I received an offer to be a litigation associate upon graduation.

I immediately accepted.

 After spending a year clerking for {now} Chief Justice Ireland

on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court,

I returned to Bingham in September 2005 as a second year associate.

This picture was taken during my first week at Bingham in September 2005 and was my official headshot on the website for the past 7 years.

The money was great but I was MISERABLE.

I worked with a very difficult partner and the thought of going to work made me want to cry.

I was actually counting down the days until I could quit

{I had to stay a year or pay back the bar prep and exam fees as well as my clerkship bonus}.

Then in March of 2006 that all changed. I met Jason, then a senior associate,

who staffed me on the Tempur Pedic securities case.

 For the first time since I started, I was excited by my work.

Jason began staffing me on more securities cases with he and Jordy, an amazing partner.

Soon, Jason was made partner and by 2007,

nearly all of my cases were with Jordy and Jason.

I loved my work and the firm was wonderful to me.

 Along the way, many of my summer associate class left the firm and before I knew it,

I was the last one left in litigation and one of the final four of our class of 28!

 Crazy since I never planned on working at a big firm and really thought I would last only one year.

When G and I decided to move back to WA in 2008, the firm allowed me to commute.

 I had no idea how that would work and figured it would only last a year if I was lucky.

Well, it lasted nearly four years!

It is no secret that after Eli was born, I was ready to be done with the commuting

and really wanted to stay home with Alli and Eli full time.

Financially, it just wasn't an option so I returned to commuting and

decided to branch out and work with additional partners in the securities department.

 I still enjoyed the work but the commute was becoming too much.

Then, we had the surprise pregnancy and miscarriage with

every complication possible in the last two months of 2010.

When I finally returned to commuting in January 2011,

I was exhausted and finding it harder and harder to keep doing it.

I stopped flying in August 2011 due to pregnancy complications

and went out on leave in October 2011.

 After Luke, I knew commuting would be too much but Bingham

had been so good to me for so long, I felt I had to try to return.

 I was trying to work out a return to work date with the head of litigation in Boston

but we were having a difficult time connecting due to his schedule.

Finally, on March 2, 2012, I was able to speak to him and his co-chair on the West Coast.

They gave me my annual review, which was good, but then I was told that I

had no prospect of making partner due to my commuting.

They offered me a generous severance package along with my vacation payout

 of nearly 5 weeks, which I happily accepted.

I flew back to Boston June 3-5 to clean out my office.

It's crazy how much you can accumulate in nearly 7 years!  I must say that I will miss my view.

While there, I had the opportunity to say goodbye to friends and co-workers.

 I am so blessed to have made such wonderful friends.  Mohan, Kate & Angie left Bingham before me but we remained close & they threw me a "retirment party"

It was a wonderful visit filled with three fabulous goodbye parties.

Nicole, Bill, Jason, Jordy and Brandon were kind enough to take me out for some yummy Chinese one last time.  Such amazing people to work with!!!

I have absolutely no regrets and am grateful that it ended the way it did, on a positive note.

 I loved my time with Bingham and learned so much

from the brilliant attorneys and staff with whom I worked.

 That said, I am so excited for my next adventure . . .

11 Years and going strong . . .

So much has changed since we said "I do" eleven years ago . . .

We moved to the East Coast, returned to the West Coast, completed grad school (both of us), started new careers, went from being a full time military family to a part-time (Reserve) military family, suffered through infertility and a miscarriage, had three kiddos, lost our cat, bought a house,

and so much more. 

Through it all, we've made an amazing team!

Love that Alli jumps in the anniversary picture every year ;-)

Lukers was down for the night and Eli was way too busy eating his pizza to jump in the photo! 

We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Stanley and Seaforts!

Cannot wait to see what the future holds for us . . .



I did it!!!

I took all three kiddos shopping by myself this afternoon!!!

I am so proud of myself ;-)

Laugh if you must but the thought of doing this was terrifying to me.

My friend told me that once I did it, I would feel better about it ~ she was so right!

Thank you Sarah!!!

We needed to get grapes for Alli's school snack and some more gifts for the Angel Tree

so when the munchkins were up from their afternoon naps,

we piled in the car and headed out to Walmart and Fred Meyer. 

Luke was a gem and slept most of the time in the sling,

while Eli rode in the front of the cart and Alli rode in the back of the cart. 

Thankfully, the two big kids were great shoppers.

I am beyond excited that our first solo outing was such a success. 

Maybe, just maybe, having three kiddos won't be so scary after all . . . 

Score one for Mommy ;-)

My Crafty Side

Much to Garrett's dismay, I decided I wanted to learn how to sew.

A couple years ago, my friend Sarah (who is wildly crafty and makes beautiful items), shared a picture of a pillowcase dress she had made for her daughter Anne.  From that moment on, I told G I wanted to learn how to do that.  I don't think he believed me but I was set on learning some day.

Well, with being stuck on modified bed rest, I decided now was the time so I researched sewing machines, and wound up purchasing the Brother Innov-ís 950D from a local dealer.

I LOVE it!!! 

To get the most out of this new hobby, I decided to take sewing classes from the dealer.

So far, I learned to make a tote bag (I've now made three!)

and a small, zippered make-up bag (zippers are NOT easy but certainly doable ;-)

Most exciting, I finally made that pillowcase dress I've been thinking about for the past two years . . .  

Granted, it's not perfect, and I certainly need more practice, but my little model LOVED it!!! 

I made it after she went to bed one night and showed it to her the next morning.

Her response???

Mommy, it is fabulous!!!  Can I wear it right now???

To which I happily responded . . .

Yes, my sweet girl, you can!!!

I made her a tote bag to match, which she carried around all day and insisted that we visit both sets of grandparents so they could see her new dress and bag.

Yep, I'm definitely feeling quite crafty and Garrett even seems a bit impressed :-)

Sunny Visit With The Lynch Fam

September 30th - October 2nd, Alli and I had the wonderful opportunity to visit the Lynch Fam

in sunny San Diego and it could not have been a better vacation for the Fisher gals!!!

Alli did so well on the plane rides, I was incredibly impressed with her. 

On the way down, we were upgraded to first class so it was just the two of us in our row.

On the way home, we were in coach and Alli's reaction was priceless . . .

As soon as she saw our row, she scrunched her little nose and asked (in a rather annoyed tone)

"Why are there three seats? There are only supposed to be two.  These seats are small!"

The tall gentleman next to us in the row started chuckling and responded to the very petite 4 year old,

who had plenty of room, . . . "you think these seats are small?!?!"

I explained that in her short little life, she had flown first class more than coach, thanks to all my miles.

You would never know Alli was a bit shy by her chatty behavior on the plane :-)

Back to our visit . . .

As soon as Sarah, Ainsley, Emerson, and Abigail arrived at the airport, it was as if no time had passed.

There was no shyness at all, the girls were chatting and giggling immediately!

We went to Chili's for lunch and then hit a park before getting Elleanor from school.

Alli could not have been happier!!!

I had no idea how the girls would react to seeing one another again but it was as if the past couple of months never happened and they picked right up where they left off.  Only this time, I heard many times, Mommy, you can go (downstairs, over there, etc.) ~ guess I was cramping her style ;-)

Oh well, gave me a chance to visit! 

The little Lynchs (as Alli calls them) aren't so little anymore and Alli really enjoyed playing with them too. 

After getting Elleanor, it was time to see their new house, which is beautiful!

The girls had a great time playing together, leaving Sarah and I time to chat ~ yeah!!!!!!!

We enjoyed a yummy dinner at Elleanor's school and then went out for ice cream.

Alli crashed hard that first night.  Much to her dismay, I made her share a room with me and (I think to punish me) the little turkey was quite the bed hog ;-)

The next morning, after more breakfast and more playing, we went to the beach.

This was Alli's first time ever seeing the ocean and she was loving it . . .

She and Elleanor had a great time chasing and running from waves. 

The only sketchy moment came when she was sitting on the beach to eat lunch and sand kept blowing in her eyes.  Luckily, Mrs. Lynch saved the day by letting Alli wear her sun glasses  ~ I couldn't give her mine since they are prescription glasses.  Alli looked and felt like Miss Hollywood.  Crisis averted! 

Alli, Elleanor, Emerson and Abigail all enjoyed playing in the sand and chasing seagulls

(Ainsley wasn't a big fan of the sand!) 

After a very fun couple of hours at the beach, we went back to the house before heading to their neighborhood splash park (a very short walk from their house).  All five little gals had a blast!  Unfortunately no pictures as I am very hesitant to bring my camera near water ;-)

On Sunday, we went to a carnival at Elleanor's school and the girls had fun playing games.  Alli even participated in and won a sack race ~ she is now the proud owner of a very large, plushy Care Bear (which made a great pillow on the plane!)  She hasn't stopped cuddling that bear since she won it ;-)

We went to Red Robin for lunch and checked out Pottery Barn Kids before heading back to the house to play for a bit before we had to go to the airport.

It was hard to say goodbye (again!) but I have no doubt we will head down for another visit :-)

This time we may even let the boys join us!

Thank you Lynch Fam for a FANTASTIC visit ~ we cannot wait to see you again!!!

Fabulous Birthday Weekend

On Friday, I celebrated my 25th birthday . . . again! ;-)

The morning started out less than steller as the meds to stop my contractions do not make me feel great.  When Alli woke up, she rushed down to tell me "happy birthday!" and beat her Daddy to the punch by saying it first ~ she was VERY proud of herself!

Fortunately, I started feeling better and it was a great day as G took the day off and the kiddos were excited to have Mommy & Daddy home.

After a semi-relaxing morning, which included Alli making me a birthday breakfast (from her kitchen),

complete with birthday cake, ice cream, tea and an orange, we headed over to my parents to drop off the kiddos for the weekend so we could head to Cannon Beach.

Before leaving, we attempted to get a family picture . . .

We were less than successful but the pictures of the Fisher Fam of four and a half make me chuckle! 

Eli gave me the BEST present by starting to cry the second he realized we were leaving, I felt so loved, and he was instantly fine realizing that he was going to have a very fun weekend with Papa & Ducky Gramma.

The trip down to Oregon was uneventful and when we arrived,

we were greeted with warm weather and lots of sunshine ~ pure Heaven!!! 

This handsome man made sure I was staying put and comfortable

for the weekend but did allow a couple short walks on the beach ;-)

Friday evening, we had dinner at the Stephanie Inn and it was delicious!

As always, the staff there goes out of it's way to make guest feel special so there were loads of

Happy Birthday wishes, including on our dessert plate.

On Saturday, after enjoying a very yummy breakfast, we relaxed by sitting outside and reading before our couples massage that afternoon.  Mine wasn't as great as last time but still worth it.  I just know to request someone specific the next time we go.  Saturday evening, we decided to grab a pizza in town and brought it back to our room to enjoy while we watched a movie ~ a perfect evening!

We had hoped to do a bon fire on the beach that night but it was way too windy ~ next time.

Sunday morning, we awoke to gray skies and huge waves.

It was beautiful!

After another yummy breakfast, it was time to head home to get the kiddos.

We could not have asked for a better weekend together!

The kiddos were very excited to see us and the weather back home was a perfect Fall day,

which meant lots of playing outside.  As much fun as it was in Cannon Beach,

nothing beats having our family back together. 

Though we will definitely be heading back to the Stephanie Inn in the future for more adult-only time ;-)

Ouch! Ouch! OUCH!!!!!

Last night, while enjoying a perfectly lovely evening at my parents celebrating Jenee's birthday,

a very angry wasp decided to sting me

not once, twice or even three times

nope, that angry little bugger stung me FOUR times on the side of my calf above my ankle.

I had no idea what hit me as I screamed out in pain mid sentence

Okay, I admit that I was a bit of wimp but it HURT!!!

It immediately turned red and swelled with red lines going up and down my leg,

which worried both my mom and Jenee (a nurse).

All I cared about was how much it hurt.

I've only been stung twice before and both were by bees ~ I would take one of those stings any day.

Last night was rough but I learned once again what a great hubby I have

as he was willing to get up in the middle of the night to get me more ice when the pain was too much.

Last night, I assumed I was stung only once, it wasn't until this morning, when some of the swelling and redness had subsided that I noticed the FOUR stings ~ I have a "Y" on my leg, which Alli promptly pointed out this morning as she thought that was very cool ;-)  So glad my pain brought someone some enjoyment!

10 years ago today . . .

I was spending the morning with some very lovely ladies 

as I anxiously awaited the moment when I could walk down the aisle to marry this handsome man

Just a few short hours later, my dream came true

Now, here I am 10 years later, anxiously awaiting the return of my one true love and best friend

as he is currently in Arizona on business but due home this evening ;-)

The past 10 years have been an amazing journey, that, although not always easy or fun, has always been one worth taking and I cannot wait to see what the future journey holds for us.

I love you more now than I could have ever imagined Garrett!!!

Our trip to Cannon Beach

As we mentioned in a previous post, we decided to celebrate our 10 year anniversary a weekend early and drove down to the Oregon Coast at the recommendation of our friends. WOW! They could not have recommended any place better than The Stephanie Inn in Cannon Beach. It was absolutely amazing!

The above pictures are the backside of The Stephanie Inn (taken from the beach) and G enjoying the fabulous view of the beach and Haystack Rock from our patio.  It was so relaxing and peaceful!

We arrived Saturday afternoon and immediately went to the beach.  It was such a sunny day.

A bit chilly but the clear blue sky and sunshine more than made up for it! 

We checked into our room and found a lovely anniversary present waiting for us . . .

They knew we are expecting as I had to book the prenatal massage ~ how sweet is that????

Once settled, our massage therapists came to our room to get us for our massages ~ they were Heavenly!

We were so relaxed.  After getting cleaned up, we enjoyed the complimentary wine (I had sparkling cider!) and appetizers in the library/game room before heading back to the beach where my crazy hubby decided he had to go for a swim ~ BRRRRRRR!  I was content to stay on the beach and take pictures ;-)

 We had dinner at the dining room in the Inn that evening and the food was so yummy.

As with everything else, the service was above and beyond.  On our dessert plate, they had written Happy Anniversary in chocolate ~ we loved all of the personal touches!

After dinner, we enjoyed the complimentary night caps (more sparkling cider for me!) and chatted with a lovely couple from Bellevue (the husband works for Merrill Lynch so we had lots to chat about).

That night, we watched a great movie Social Network about Facebook.  Okay, so I fell asleep halfway through it but G was willing to watch the second half with me again in the morning ~ such a great hubby!

After enjoying the incredibly yummy, complimentary breakfast, we spent more time on the beach.

 Once again, my handsome and somewhat crazy hubby decided to go for a swim while I took pictures.

While we were there, we decided to try and get a couple "belly shots" of our little Guppy.  Sorry to disappoint but I still don't have much of a belly ~ oh well!  Gotta love the background though ;-)

It was hard to leave as we had such a wonderful time together there, so much so that we decided to return for my birthday weekend and already booked the exact same room!  The kiddos were happy to see us though when we returned and as much fun as we had, home is always great too!

It was just so nice to spend the time together reflecting over the past 10 years of marriage.
