Us {Thanks:9}

November 9, 2010


It was on this day eight years ago that Shane and I met on our first (and blind) date.

It wasn’t long before I knew that he was the one.  Okay, it was that evening.

Less than a year later we were husband and wife.

And then a little less than four years later we were mom and dad.

I’m thankful for those years we had together prior to parenthood.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Beau with all my heart and soul and entire being.

I can’t imagine our lives without him.

But there is a part of me that views those almost 4 years as our private years.

Those years are just ours.  I am so grateful that we had them.

As I write this, the more I realize that this feeling is hard to explain, so forgive me…

 Is there a certain feeling that you can’t quite explain, but that you are thankful for?

Join Thauna and me in expressing our thanks for those random, lovely, silly, and thought-provoking people, experiences, and places that make life what it is.

    Don’t apologize…. I know what you mean by it and that’s a normal thing to be grateful for…….. it’s important to know who you are as an individual and then as a couple before you know who you are as a parent. Creates a solid foundation Beau will be forever grateful to have……..

    Happy anniversary! I’m with you; I’m exceedingly grateful that we waiting five years to have our children. They are my life now but I think that time with just the two of us made it possible for us to weather everything that has happened in 28 years.

    I feel the same way you do about all this. Dave and I were together for more than 10 years before Jake was born. They were glorious, and Jake came just in time.

    Funny how they do that, isn’t it?
