Today FireDad and I are celebrating our anniversary. Well, to be honest, we’re not celebrating-celebrating until the 27th. We’ll be going away, without children, for a weekend of romance and love. And sleep, to be honest. But, today, the 18th, is our official anniversary. A friend is watching LittleBrother while BigBrother is at school so the two of us lovebirds can dart off for a lunch without someone fighting over who gets to lick ketchup over french fries.
The other day, while waiting for Santa to arrive on a fire truck, FireDad and I took some silly pictures. We do this a lot. I don’t know why. Perhaps because we’re silly. In fact, we’re still rather silly for one another. Through the sleepless nights, diapers, work drama, missed holidays due to work (and associated drama), postpartum depression, arguments, grumpy pants and general boringness of life… we’ve somehow found a way to stay silly with one another. Which is good as life can be far too serious sometimes. It’s good to laugh with one another.
We’ve been through a lot and, no doubt, there are things ahead that won’t be as funny as this series of pictures. But I think we both feel very blessed to be heading into each day together. We’re not perfect. But finding the humor in our mistakes has brought us thus far. Looking at the joy in our eyes, I have hope enough for the future.
Happy Anniversary, FireDad. You’ll always be my hero.

How sweet! Laughter (and silliness!) is definitely important in a relationship. I hope you had a nice anniversary!
Happy anniversary to you and FireDad!
I think the pictures are adorable. Silliness is about the best thing ever in a marriage, I think.
