Wife has just returned from hugging the toilet bowl. She settles into bed for a 10-minute respite before her bed-mate, a feverish 3-year-old girl, needs the blue plastic bowl once again.
She glances at the alarm clock on the dresser. It’s after midnight.
“Gabe?” she calls weakly to her husband trying to sleep next door in the 3-year-old’s bed.
“Yeah?”
“Happy Anniversary.”
“You too. I love you.”
“Love you.”
The past 12 years have produced some of the most beautiful (and some of the most awful) moments of my life. And I wouldn’t change a single minute.
I love my husband. I’m the luckiest girl alive.
p.s. Those pics were taken a year ago. Let’s just pretend we’re feeling that robust right now.
That last picture is HOT! You two make me so happy. Love you both.
And I especially love that you are feeling better-ish, I think.
Happy Anniversary yesterday! Hope you are feeling better
Bless your hearts! Between Gabe’s “In sickness” picture of your hands and then this, I think I’m gonna cry! I love you guys so much and I’m praying that before long you’ll be feeling just like those pictures above!:) Happy 12th anniversary!:)
Happy anniversary! Hope you’re able to go out and celebrate once everyone is over the bug.

This morning, I was reading your pukey posts…..kind of going “Ewww, that’s really horrible”. As I was sitting there trying not to picture anything, I heard the unmistakeable sound of someone gagging/gurgling/vomiting. For a second, I thought it had to be my empathetic imagination. Then I ran frantically to see where it was coming from. Sure enough, my dog had puked on the hallway rug.
I just thought how strange that she’d pick that moment…..just as I was reading your miserable post. I must say I was relieved it was just the dog! I sure hope you are all doing better now!
The two of you are adorable…love you

Happy Anniversary! Hope all of your family is feeling much better and ready to kick around in the snow all over again:)
Blessings today and always,
Kaye
