There is so much going on in our lives right now. Funny how good things all come at once. What's the expression? I can't remember.
Today is our 6 year wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's been 6 years already. Our relationship is anything but static. Time speeds ahead making its presence noticeable at each birthday and milestone. But as time passes there is one constant in my life, my husband Julien. From the day we met it felt we had known each other forever. My hand fit within his. His arms fit around my shoulders. We each have a place in one another's neck where the sweetness is our own. As we embark on new adventures, I am glad to have him by my side. He is my partner in crime, my lover, my friend, my confidant. Here is to 6 years, my love...
This morning as I laid groggy in bed with Max crawling around me. Julien leaned down to kiss me goodbye and told me to be dressed when he got home. i.e. not in a tracksuit my usual mama uniform. I'm lucky if I get a shower during the day, such is my life now. He knew this and yet he asked me several times if I had anything planned and reminded me twice to be dressed when he got home. He left early this morning to come home early tonight. Something is up? Oh yes...
I guess I better shave my legs, huh?
Wow, so exciting! And I've always loved how you express yourself with so much sincerity and simplicity, Aimée -- you say exactly how you're feeling, and you share it all with so much emotion! Congratulations to you and Julien on such a special celebration. It is so clear how much you love each other. And how lovely that he's planning a surprise for you this evening!
So happy that you're experiencing a great time. I, too, hope that many good things come at once for all of us, and I'm crossing my fingers that the future will only bring us good things as well. Off to my monthly OB/GYN check-up today, so here's hoping that goes great -- step number one!

Such a sweet post! I think there's def something up! Yes to the legs, and if you have time I'd try to add on the pits as well (but who has time for that these days)

You're really building the suspense! Happy anniversary -- we will hit our 34th this year and are still each other's best friends (and lovers!) -- I wish you at least that many in the future. And I think the expression you're looking for is "It never rains but it pours" altho' that does have a more pejorative note than you might want.
