10 years today!!

WOW, it has been 10 years today since John and I made it official and became a couple!!! In that 10 years we have gone through A LOT!! From me graduating HS, to him moving out on his own, me going away to school and him following a year later, to getting married, and having 2 beautiful children. I wouldn't change the last 10 years for anything!! I can't believe it has been that long already!!!

I know that once you get married you typically don't celebrate dating anniversaries, but I'm a goober and still at least acknowledge them. Since it is 10 years today, I thought it deserved some recognition!! John and I weren't able to go out for our wedding anniversary just shy of a month ago, because of family being in town, and because we went out to a nice dinner while on our weekend getaway during July. We figured we would save it for now!! So, since this "dating" anniversary falls on a Wednesday, we are going to shoot for going out on Saturday!

Who ever thought that John and I would be still going strong 10 years later....ok, most everyone of our friends said that we would grow old together!!! That was back when we first started dating too!!! Look at us now!!!
Aidan took this one....it was in our kitchen while we were making dinner/feeding the baby/putting dishes away.

Us at Brookie's baptism...not great but it's one of the most recent. We were up on the alter hence no smiles.....

**We obviously don't take many pictures of the two of us....better change that. Then again I'm in next to no pictures!**

Brookie's crawling and a new camera!!

Well, we survived the heat...just barely. We had gotten to the point of caving in and buying a new A/C unit....or rather one in general (we don't have one) when the temps started dropping and our apartment started cooling off again. So no A/C unit. Otherwise....what a week.

Brookie got her 5th tooth, and started crawling all within 2 days of each other. I FINALLY got a video of it tonight while we were at my in-law's house for dinner. She is so cute.

We got another new camera this week....well it wasn't planned exactly. So I asked John to clean out my car and bring everything up to our apartment and he did. Everything except one back that was a plastic grocery bag that was tied shut. In it I had an outfit of Brookie's, my crossword puzzle, a burp rag that we got as a gift, a bunch of her toys, both my favorites and hers. AND the thing I was initially most upset about, our nice camera. John thought it was garbage and was trying to help and threw it away in our dumpster. When he got home from work on Monday I asked where the camera was. He thought it was still on our counter. I told him it was in the plastic bag in the car. He got this oh crud look on his face and told me that he threw it away.

I got upset.

He dumpster dove.

Camera was gone forever. They came and got the dumpster during the day and tossed the contents. Bye bye camera. Boo. He felt so badly and I yelled at him for a bit...then apologized because I knew he wouldn't deliberately throw it away. We ended up at Target that evening and bought ourselves (or rather me-he calls it my camera) a new camera. I like it but don't love it. Some features are a bit weird. I was just going through and was noticing that a ton of our pics are really grainy and I'm really frustrated by that. I got spoiled on our nice camera and so now nothing compares to that. I guess we might have to sit down and read over the owner's manual. Oh well.

He still feels badly but at least I have a way to take video and pictures of our kiddos. Anyhoo, I need to head to bed now. I have been pulling nights that are WAY to long and I am so tired today....even the dishes are going to have to wait and if you know me that doesn't usually happen. Alrighty....good night!!
