10 years

Ten years ago Eric and I were married in Cardston, Alberta. We first met as running partners thanks to a mutual friend. I never imagined I'd marry young; I was 20, he was 24. Or that I would have a dog and a truck (both gone now), renovate old houses (very enjoyable), or enjoy being a mother so much (and I am so wanting another one right now!).

I suppose we ought to have done something big and expensive, but our celebration today was very low-key. We ate at our town's fanciest restaurant: the only restaurant with tablecloths and cloth napkins. The food was quite disappointing. When you live in France every summer, it's hard to come back to iceberg lettuce and overcooked fish and flavorless bread. Now Eric is trying to get Zari to sleep. I already nursed her on both sides, pottied her on her request, and she still wouldn't go down. So it's his turn now!

  1. Does it feel like you've been married forever and yet also that the time has flown? I remember feeling that way when Jon and I hit our 10th in January.

    Congrats on a wonderful 10 years, and I hope the next 10 are even better.
