9 years ago today

I was waking up after not being able to sleep.

I was grabbing a bagel for breakfast and heading to the hairdressers. We got free donuts that morning from the donut shop across the street. It was a tradition I guess, and they always sent people over.

9 years ago today I cried as we drove past the cemetery where my Nana is buried. She was missing this amazing day, as she had missed others. I missed her so and felt the pain of my loss as I had that night almost 5 years prior.

9 years ago today we were rushing back to my apartment to gather everything we needed, all my girls and my mom. Freaking out because we were running late.

9 years ago today I was feeling blessed as I got ready downstairs in the church. It was Hot Hot Hot outside, abnormally hot for that day in June.

9 years ago today my parents walked me down the aisle and handed me off to my future, my destiny.

9 years ago today I married my best friend. My soul mate. The love of my life. Without him I would be nothing, with him I am fulfilled.

  12. It is a lucky thing to be married to someone who we love and respect so much. I often wonder what I did to deserve such an incredible life partner. Happy Anniversary!

    Here from ICLW - Thanks for stopping by my space earlier this week. We are 16 weeks pregnant after 2 years of treatment, and I have found myself at a loss for words recently. The transition to pregnancy has been so much different than I expected. I'll be looking forward to following your story as you raise your precious little girl.

    Much love - Foxy
