Ten.

September 24, 2012 by Adrienne

Friday Blaine and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary.
wedding
A friend took the kids Friday and Saturday. We stayed home and wondered what on earth we’ll do when the kids are grown. It was so… quiet. No one woke me up at 4am. I got more hours of sleep straight than I have since before Charlotte was born. We sat on the porch and visited without a single interruption. We set up pop cans and shot them full of holes, just for the fun of it.

We had a lovely time. And then, we went and picked up the kids. I’m just not good at this whole “no kids” thing. Life without them is, well, boring.

No offense to my dear husband. Ten years, six kids, nine houses, four states… life together has been anything but boring. We been blessed beyond measure with this big family of littles. I can’t imagine doing this without him. I love that man.

    My first thought when I read the title of your post was that you were announcing that you are expecting twins. 🙂

      Yes, thank you, dear Sister, for keeping me on my toes. Apparently I was tired when I wrote this. Four states. Editing now…
