Happy 10th Baby!

Today is our 10 year anniversary.  It is amazing how fast the  years have gone and all the things we have done and places we have lived.  Probably shouldn't say places...but houses  (we have built and sold several homes, but all but 1 have been in the same area).

For Jay's present I had a great idea several weeks ago to make him a book (from http://www.blurb.com/) and fill it with 10 reasons why I love him.  I spent several hours working on it and loved every minute of it.  I was so excited to get it and new that when I gave it to him I wanted the kids to be in bed, so they wouldn't attack him trying to see the book too.  Well, I got it last Friday and that night we stayed up late talking in bed and I decided it was the perfect time to give him his present...and it worked out great because we got to show it to our families on Sunday when they came over for lunch after Jursey's baby blessing.

He loved it and was surprised that I did something that thoughtful.  I always have good intentions, but I never seem to get them all pulled together.  So I was excited that I thought of this well enough in advance and was able to find the time to get it all done.

That is a picture of the book, it looks perfect sitting in our entertainment center.  We all love looking through the pages at all the fun pictures and stories and reading about the 10 reasons why I love my hubby.

Last night Jay and I were both in the office working at our computers and he got up and left the room.  I heard him say to Bridger "go give this to mom".  Bridger came in the office and handed me and envelope with this inside


It was a check from Jay with a hand written note on it.  He is so sweet.  Then I noticed what he had typed on the check before he printed it...
It says
"Happy Anniversary!!!!  Buy yourself a new bra"

I have been saying for a good year or more that I need a new bra, so I think he was saying it in a kind way...

Now I just need to let him in on the fact that I don't want to take 5 kids bra shopping.
I could just picture the look on Bridger's face if I took him in Victoria's Secret! 

Last night I used some of my bra $$ and we went out for dinner.  It was a quick date, but very nice to be able to visit with each other without competing for a chance to talk (Bridger loves to ask questions while Jay and I are in the middle of a conversation....I remember doing that to my parents too...sorry Mom and Dad)

I am a rotten sister. When you asked Justin to babysit, I thought "that is so nice that they are going out." I didn't even realize it was your anniversary. Happy 10th! Love you!
