Random Thoughts

As I have entered this new world of blogging, I have realized that blogs aren't just about family vacations or major events.  I have been reading all of your blogs and realized that my blog can be more like a journal instead of a documentary.  So I hope you don't mind if some of my posts become a little more personal and maybe a little more boring for some of you to read.  Please know that I don't expect you all to read every little thing I post, but feel free to read them if you wish!

Ten Years Together....

Kevin and I have been married for ten years as of March 18th!  The years have flown by because I have spent them with my best friend!  As I look back over the years I can't believe how much has changed.  I feel that we have grown closer and stronger over the years.  I am so grateful to be married to such a wonderful man.  Kevin has been working very hard over the last two years to build his own company.  It has been very touching as a wife to watch him.  I have seen him at his best and worst through all of this and I am sure he has seen me at mine as well.  The personal sacrifices he has made for himself has been very emotional for me.  As I watch him struggle to balance work and family it amazes me how much he has had to give up.  One of those things has been sleep.  He works a lot at night when the kids and I are sleeping in order to spend time with us in the evenings and be apart of other family functions.  As Dexton says, "Dad has to work all day and all night!"  He has given up golf and many other leisurely activities he enjoys as well.  All for the sake of our family!  However, I think golf will be coming back this spring, and he certainly deserves it!  He is doing very well and I would be lying if I didn't admit that I am extremely proud of him and all he has accomplished!  He has impressed me more than ever!  (Please take note, I said impressed, Kevin claims there is little he can do to impress me :-) I guess I don't do a good job at praising him!)  Kevin, I love you!  Thank you for a wonderful ten years!  I look forward to the next ten!
