12 Year Anniversary

It's hard to believe that Brian & I have been married to 12 years. It sounds like such a long time, yet it seems like the years have just flown by. We didn't have any plans for the day. We thought maybe of trying to take the family out to Red Lobster. Or maybe seeing a movie. Nothing set in stone. We woke up Sunday morning to the sun shining brightly and the boat already hooked up to the car from the night before.
So instead of taking the day to reflect on the past, we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather and make it a family day on the boat. Probably not the most romantic thing - to have 2 fighting, whining kids on board - and there were times when I thought of throwing them overboard... lol...., but we've had lots of "romantic days" in the past. Right now we just wanted to enjoy what we have now: a wonderfully blessed family in good health.
We loaded up the cooler, packed some lunch and snacks, and headed out to Loon Lake for the day. The boys did some fishing, the girls did some reading, and we all soaked up the sun! Loaded the boat back up around 5pm and headed back into town. Stopped at Camino Real for a mexican dinner, then headed home to unpack and go to bed. We were all exhausted!










It was a wonderful day. Thank you to my husband for making it a memorable 12-years. We've had our ups and downs but we keep truckin' along, never looking back....
