Ten years ago today, I was tossing my cookies, while holding back my veil trying not to splatter puke on it.
Not that the idea of marrying Boo was vomit inducing, far from it. But seeing as how we were rabbits back then whose sole purpose in life was um, procreating; your oldest son, approximately four gestational months old, was making my life difficult while your eight month old daughter was preventing me from actually sleeping (or eating anything other than dried cheerios.)
Last year, on our nine anniversary, while still reeling from our loss, I wrote pretty words of love for you. Of course, since then, I have pointed out to the world what an asshat you can be. I do on occasion, to prevent people from thinking you are a complete twit, point out some of your admirable qualities.
This year, I am taking a new direction. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. May you read these pictures and feel all of the love, joy, exasperation, happiness, annoyance, sadness, occasional anger, perpetual lust, friendship and kindness that I feel towards my husband.
Against all odds, and countless bets made between our relatives and our pastor, we have survived. Flourished. And brought more of our crazy genes in to help with my plans of global domination.
Here is to decades more of being a thorn in your mother’s side. I love you.
Now please excuse me, I have a flight to catch to surprise my husband this evening. I have planned an evening filled with expensive champagne (followed up with wild monkey sex) for the two of us. I’ll be back tomorrow, hung over, happy, and hopefully wearing a very big smile.
Ten years later and we still can’t keep our hands off each other.
***Special thanks to all our children, family, friends and local liquor store employees who have helped us make it this far. Take a bow people. You’ve earned it.***

Holy crap, if you do not win the hottest blogger award I swear I will think someone rigged it! Smokin!!!

dude, you monkeys are so freakin’ adorable. and i was thinking how slender you were at four months pregnant with #2…but then i suppose a diet of cheerios isn’t exactly nourishing, is it?
congrats to you both, and yay to all those who laid money on your side. all…um…three of them?
i would’ve bet on ya. you’re both too cute to let go of.
my genuine congratulations, T…seriously, you and i both know how few couples survive the loss of a child. and i think it’s a testament to Bug that you haven’t let grief destroy you. now go enjoy that monkey sex.
(which, btw, i think you must have been enjoying for MORE than ten years despite the title of this post…seeing as Frac & Fric’s presence in the wedding photo suggests a certain, erm, intimacy. wink wink.)

Happy Anniversary. I hope this year brings you more joy and laughter, a highway wind at your hubby’s back and entirely too much horizontal refreshment. So be it. Amen. Shamalamadingdong.

Your dress was classically beautiful and you looked gorgeous in it. Don’t worry, even after twenty years (as in my case) you will still not be able to keep your hands off each other. Here’s to a lifetime of love and “wild monkey sex.”

i somehow missed the fact that your oldest kidlets were so freaking close in age. and yet you *still* look totally slim and serene. and young. (i was/am of “advanced maternal age…”
boo’s a little bit hot. is it ok to say that?
(you are too, of course)
jen
you make me feel all weepy inside. nothing does it like this kind of love.

Boo is HOT. I meant to add that yesterday.
I can see why you can’t keep your hands off each other. lol. Obviously there’s some massive chemistry between you – but you guys are purty;).

Congrats! Hope you guys have fun. I’d say, “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do” but that pretty much leaves everything as an option.

Whoo Hoo! Enjoy, you two monkeys.

I, too, was struck by your lack of a tummy at 4 months pregnant with your second. I fully expect to look like I’m 9 months pregnant at 2 months with #2.
I love that you’re flying there for one night to get it on. Nicely done. Have fun!

I was just reunited with my husband last night after a month apart, I pray that your reunion sex is as toe curling as mine was.
Happy anniversary!
