17 years married



This weekend, Jason and I celebrated 17 years married. This is awesome and I love him more then I did that day, but will never love him as much as the next years to come.

Have we had it easy? Yes and No.

Our relationship has always been strong, we have a very good line of communication. We love to sit and chat about what is happening in the life we are living. The fears we face, the adventures we would love to do together and especially talking about our babies. They are our world.

We struggled for years with infertility. This was a hard place for us. We exhausted all our resources until one day I was shown where God wanted us to be. Oh so clearly. We struggled with the cost of the adoptions but the bank as lots! Thank you CIBC! Would I do this road again? Absolutely! The only thing I would change is the waiting. I think I would not have done the IVF's and all that but went to adoption first. I guess it's a process you need to go through, to be with the child you are meant to parent.

Jason and I have been, done and seen a lot of things. My favorite is obviously going to China. I am in love with this country, the culture, the smells, the food, the sounds, the language. Everything except for the spitting I am in love with. I love my children's homeland and patiently waiting until we can return.We also love to spend time doing road trips. Another was Chicago. Loved Oprah,solider field, the bean. Most of all spending time with our little family!

Jason and I have been through some hard times with family. Being accused of things I would never dream of doing. I am seeking help with this because it's making me hate people. Which that is not me. I also do it because I am the one that is beating myself up about people who assume they know but have no idea. Will they ask?No! Why because we are an easy target. It's like I am on welfare driving fancy cars and living is a huge house...not the case. God knows the truth, we know the truth and they are missing out. Do I care? yes, but am I going to worry, No!Losing our grandparents has been rough. I miss my nanna and poppa so much. I wish everyday they could see my kids. One day! I miss grandpa Brook. Loved listening to him talk about places he as been and things he as seen. he was a very smart man and I loved listening to his wisdom. Miss you guys!

Jason and I have decided to take the kids to Florida in March. We are so excited. Miss Diva and I are going to Disney. I am more excited then she is....She is happy to just stay home and enjoy home.We have rented a house and going. I cannot wait. Here we come Mickey Mouse...lol

Here's to another 17 years, hopefully somethings change but if not. Oh Well, I am going to be a happy lady with the little family and life I have. I am happy to be alive, happy and healthy.
