Ahh Sugar...Oh Honey Honey...

(Give yourself extra points if you know where the title of this post comes from heh heh.)

Just a quick post...Today is a special day for me and Gregg; it's our eleven year anniversary. I'm not going to write some sappy crappy "Oh we're so in love, and birds are singing and the flowers are blooming" post. (Well Little Mickey the parakeet actually is chirping at the moment, and the orchid plant is opening flowers for the first time in about two years but all that is besides the point.) We don't really have any special plans today; we're going to dinner at D'Vine Wine with Charlie and Michelle tonight but otherwise that's about it. Last year for anniversary number ten we through ourselves a party and one of our gifts was a spa weekend from Charlie and Michelle and my sister Tricia and her husband Keith. That has to rank about the best gift ever. So this year will be low key. We went bowling yesterday, that's the extent of our celebration. Being together this long is one thing that helped us make our decision to adopt. We've gone through a lot over the last eleven years, and our relationship just keeps getting stronger. Making this change to our lives is a huge step but it's the natural progression. Besides, a few years from now we'll have little Finster to serve us a badly made anniversary breakfast in bed.

Happy Anniversary!
I just randomly found your blog and have enjoyed reading about your journey so far. My wife and I are also journeying to baby-land and have been blogging about it as well.
I wanted to share some book ideas with you as we enjoy Tango as well. If you haven't picked up King & King, you could start there, and then also worth checking out is King & King & Family where they bring home a little girl from the jungle (you'll have to decide if you like the message since she sneaks into their luggage and surprises them).
I also was thinking of Bobbie Combs' 123 Family Counting Book and Family ABC as well. These are great books that we can't wait to share with our little one. We have some by Johnny Valentine, but you really want to read them first and decide if you like them or not, they can be a bit... different?
Good luck to you both on this journey and Happy Anniversary (the wife and I will celebrate 10 years in a few weeks)!!!

Hey thanks for the comment on my blog! Believe it or not, $600 for swimmers is actually cheap! I know of some women who pay upwards of $1000 for the same thing, depending on the bank they go through. I guess you could say that our bank is the KMart of banks...
