8 years!

John and I just celebrated our 8th anniversary (November 4th). By celebrated I mean we ordered take-out Chinese food with the kids. People always ask "What are you getting?" when a 'holiday' or milestone comes along, so here's my list:

What I'm getting is a happy and secure home for my children.
What I'm getting is a husband who loves me dearly though I am most definitely difficult to love at times.
What I'm getting is a lot of snoring (sorry had to work that in there honey).
What I'm getting is a man who isn't afraid to follow his dreams and take a chance.
What I'm getting is someone who loves family, would prefer to stay home than go out and who will play dress up with little girls when the need arises.
What I'm getting is comfort and security and love every day.

What I'm getting is worth a lot more than another piece of jewelry that I can stuff into the back of the jewelry drawer; though I wouldn't be adverse to a trip to Mexico at 10 years........
