20 years!

20 years. My hubby and I just celebrated our 20 year anniversary. Wow. Though it is truly impossible to imagine life before my man, I still cannot believe that we have been hitched so long! I guess it's mainly hard to believe that we are old enough to have been married 20 years... I could ask where does the time go but any of you with even 1 child knows the answer to that.
Time flies by in a haze of driving, dishes, lunches, dinners, laundry, sign-ups, grocery shopping, tournaments, camps, volunteering, church, youth group,
4-H meetings, more driving, practices, blah, blah, blah. And then you sleep, not much here, but enough to get up the next day & start the routine again.... sound familiar?
The fact that our 20 years of marriage now seem to have passed in the blink of an eye makes the gift that my dear friend gave us even more special. My friend Amy (Amy of the water tour trip to Ethiopia in 2010, remember her?) gave us a 4 day break away together. With. No. Kids! It was heavenly. We flew to Montreal and made the most of our time just being together, getting decent nights of sleep(!), walking all through the city, exploring the beautiful countryside, taking in a U2 concert & watching a couple of movies while eating candy in our room! We even had our marriage blessed after Mass at St Patrick's Cathedral in the heart of the city. (pics to come - it's a pretty city, you'll enjoy them) Ahhh, what perfection. What an awesome break away. What a gift. What a friend!
So thanks again Amy. We love you so much.
And a belated happy anniversary to the only man I could ever love like this. Thanks for the first 20 years my snookie, let's shoot for at least 40 more!
