Happy Friday or Happy Anniversary

There are several sets of eggs flying out of the shop, some as far as to Alaska!

I won't be on the torch until Monday, when the kids return to school after their week off for fall break this week.  We had fun together and visited the public library multiple times.  The girl child started picking out books from the 3rd grade level, even though she is only in the 1st grade.  She is always so determined to do what her brother does.  It's not just reading, but also in throwing and catching baseballs and footballs.  That same girl child is turning seven years old this weekend.

Today is my 11th wedding anniversary.  I am continually amazed at how time flies, seemingly passing me by.  My memory is like a sieve and has forgotten more things than I like or would like to admit.  I do remember it was my smart mouth that caught the attention of my honeys and invited me out on a lunch date.  It was two years later to that first date when we exchanged vows on the deck built out from an old grist mill.  We have spent just as many years working together at phone companies and sometimes on the same team as we have spent working at different companies since we met.  The years we worked together were hands down the best.

He is my best friend, my husband and a wonderful father.  I don't think I will ever understand his fervor for the Minnesota Vikings or how he can drink a Mountain Dew at 10pm and then go straight to sleep, but that's okay.  I don't need to.  Neither of us have the need to fill the air with idle chatter as we are comfortable in silence.  We don't like crowds and almost always agree on paint colors and furniture.  No matter what fire has been lit under me, he has supported me 100% in trying what has inspired me (from buying a sewing machine that sat unused for years, to a stint of selling cosmetics to playing with fire and hiding behind a camera).  He has my back and I have his.  I know he loves me and that is enough.  I feel so undeserving, yet incredibly thankful for this man in my life who puts family first.

And if you're reading this Todd Wenzel, I love you more than you know.
