How is it possible? Today is Rolf's and my tenth wedding anniversary. I know we married young (21 and 22), but I just don't feel old enough for ten years to have passed. I suppose part of it is that I had no idea it would take nearly a decade before we had a baby, and somehow we lost two years of our lives miserable in McKinney (we never felt it was home) and six months living with my grandparents as my Granny went through chemotherapy, but time really has flown. We've been in our house for nearly four years, and I get my 5-year paperweight at the end of this school year. We can always remember how long we've been together overall because our first date was the Halloween after my nephew Aidan was born, so we just keep track of his age. He's twelve now. Dang.
To celebrate, Rolf and I are leaving the little man with my parents and flying to Vegas for two nights next week. We had originally planned on renewing our vows, but that costs nearly as much as a wedding, so we just decided to spend the money on a fancy night out. We don't need to renew our vows to affirm our continuing love. True, having a baby has changed our relationship, and we are both looking forward to time to reconnect and re-energize by spending time together, but there isn't any doubt that we're both in this for the long haul.
