Our 6th Anniversary!
Today is our 6th wedding anniversary! For those who have read the blog for quite some time, you may remember that last year we celebrated our anniversary in New Orleans. At that time, Adam laid 3 quarters at the tomb of Mary Laveau...hoping to be blessed with a few babies. One year later, our request has been granted! My gifts this year consisted of a beautiful jewelry box (since wood is the traditional gift), flowers, a nice card, and a new charm for my Reflections bracelet (amethyst is the 6th anniversary color). I bought Adam a new radar detector and a Star Wars post-it set that makes weird noises...VERY romantic!
Despite nice gifts, our best gift is the love we have developed with each other these past 6 years and the life we have created for ourselves. Between finishing training, moving several times, a struggling private practice at times, changes in his jobs and going back to school, and our infertility struggle...our marriage has been tested quite a bit! Somehow though, we've done just fine and couldn't be much happier than we are now! Obviously, our pregnancy has been the icing-on-the-cake this year.
I photographed the bottle charm, since I meant to post about it awhile back. Adam bought it for our February cycle, as he just knew it would be successful. When it failed, he stored it away (said he never thought of returning it) and waited until we finally knew we were pregnant. I can't wait to put it on the bracelet...just haven't had an occasion yet!
Tomorrow is our 10 week visit and ultrasound. Hopefully all is going well on the inside and the babies are growing nicely! Will post something tomorrow...and hopefully some photos as well!
