12 Years!

Yesterday, November 16, Greg and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary! I still can't believe we have been married for 12 years and I have to say it has been a great 12 years. It is hard to believe that in those years we have finished collage, moved to Barrington, started new jobs, moved to Fox River Grove, had Kennedy, got a dog, had Madison and Mackenzie, moved again and so much more. It has been a busy and sometimes crazy 12 years, but years I would never trade for anything.

My parents came down on Thursday and stayed with the girls while Greg and I got away for a long weekend. On Friday morning we went to Genevia and stayed at a wonderful hotel. The Harrington was awesome. (It was my dream master bedroom/bathroom.) We spent part of Friday doing the spa thing then went to see the new 007 movie and then to a nice dinner. Since it was "our" anniversary and not "my" anniversary, I had to give in to the movie. We were both disappointed with it though. Not the best Bond movie. Anyway, Saturday we spent some time at the Aurora outlet mall. Of course, most of what we bought was for the girls, but it was still fun. That night we went to a steakhouse for dinner and then to Zannie's Comedy Den in St. Charles. It was a fun and funny night. Sunday brought a wonderful brunch and then we headed home. It was certainly a great time away, but it sure was nice to walk in the door to the squeals from the girls. Mackenzie is a Mommy's girl and she would not let me put her down the rest of the day. So, thanks Mom and Dad for making this weekend away possible!

And Greg, if you are reading this, thanks for 12 wonderful years! I can't wait to see what the next 12 have in store for us. I love you, babe!

OK, now that the anniversary is over it's time to concentrate on the two birthday's coming up this week. Mackenzie can't wait to be 3 and keeps telling us she is three already. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were at Thanksgiving with our 3 DAY old Mackenzie. Where did those years go?
