So, on anniversaries past, I can distinctly remember rolling over, early that morning and giving herman a big kiss on the cheek! Waking him & "Yelling" something to the effect of, "Dooo you know what today is....It's our anniversary" *in my Toni Toni Tone" voice*! LOl! Well, after 10yrs (of marriage) and 20 years of just being together, 2 "6-yr olds" and a very crazy & demanding life, I hit the floor with my hand on my chest in a panic, "Oh my Jesus, did I oversleep"!?! The kids...they have testing all this week! Gotta make sure their well rested, have full tummies & are "Not" late!!! Lolol! This was my train of thought this morning! Lord what a difference a few years make:)! So during my run to fix snacks & make sure their clothes are set out, I wake them & I kept saying to myself, "in a minute, yep, I'll run in & give him that kiss"!  But it never happened, I went from one thing to the next, then the next, then the next. Before I realized it, I was down in the laudry room, taking clothes out of the washer, putting them in the dryer & starting a new load!!! "What am I doing", I thought, "it's my anniversary"! Okay, but I'll just start this load reeeal quick then I'll go tell him! Lol! So, I start my Happy Anniversary" post off to my awesome husband with all of this just to let all know, after 10 years & 2 kids, Life most certainly Changes your perspective, lolol!  But I wouldn't be here, running with the kids & sometimes (and as we all know we shouldn't but we do, we're parents) making them, among a million other things "our" main priority if it wasn't for these awesome 10-years & this amazing man whom I love "almost" more than myself!

Has this road to 20, being together & 10 (well, for you all who know the story of the true 10-lolol!!!) married, been an easy trot....HECK No!!! But I don't think I would have wanted it to be! I have been through the absolute "Best" of times & God knows the absolute "Worst" of times with this man & honestly, (and I know folks make this statement to sound loving....and I sometimes do too but...) I would not change one TRIAL!  Those tough days that we've experienced together brought us to this day, 10-years of Marriage.....and we truly "Love" eachother, like for real, lolol!!!

So, to my most awesome, loving & truly kind-hearted husband, Happy Anniversary DuDE!!!! I could not imagine life without you!  We have been together since we were 16/17 years old!  You've seen me grow from a young, niave idolescent to a strong & yet very humbled young woman!  You've watch me grow from a selfish, "it's all about me" colllege co-ed, to a "Crazy" helicopter Mom (lol, and you still stay'd)!  You've been here with me & witness me reach many of my goals that I've set for myself and are sitting waiting to see me "take on the world" (his quote)....and I thank God for every milestone we've shared together!  Here's to 10, aww heck, let's go for 20 more:)!!!!

Happy Anniversary Herman Moncrief, my SwEeT!
