Happy Anniversary!!

We made it. Nine years ago today was my wedding day. It was so far the greatest day of my life. The weather turned out to be perfect. In fact it was in the high 70's low 80's and given that it rained the night before and it was August in the Silicon Valley, I would say it was better than perfect. It could be have been in the 90's or worse. I had bride freak out moment #3 when we were taking pictures before the ceremony. My Mother had some of the flowers in her car including my bouquet and she was late. My Mother is never late but that day she was. I had to use my Maid of Honor's bouquet for some of the pictures until she arrived. I was a little upset but it passed quickly when I got to see Dave all dressed up. Everything was just perfect. The day went by so quickly that I don't remember all of it. Thank goodness we had amazing photographers and a friend taking video.

I know I was young when I got married, 23 to be exact but I wouldn't change it for the world. I truly had found the love of my life and when I was least expecting it. I remember my Aunt saying that that is why girls went to college to find a husband. That was definitely not why I went but I consider it a huge bonus. Dave and I have been through some crazy times together especially the last 5 years of trying to have a family but he has always stood by my side and been my rock. I couldn't have survived this last few years without him. We were there for each other when we hit rock bottom in the TTC (trying to conceive) arena and the failed domestic adoption arena. He was there to celebrate on my good days and hold me on my bad days.

As we wait for our little one, he has been patient with me most of the time :) He is the only one in my life who will forever understand what this journey to our baby has been like and I couldn't imagine taking this journey with anyone else.

Since today is Thursday song day, I will share with you Sara Evans, "I Could Not Ask for More". The reason I picked this song is because it seems so fitting for where we are right now in our life story. We have been truly blessed even through all the hard times and we are almost there. Almost to making our dreams come true, to being the family that we have always wanted. I know Dave will be an amazing father, I saw it and I can't wait to see it again. So this song, is meant to bring hope that one day every word of this song will be true and I know that all our dreams will come true when we hold our beautiful baby.

"I Could Not Ask For More"

Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything in me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
Yeah

These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Oh, here with you here with me
No, I could not ask for more
Than this love you gave me
Cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
No, yeah
No, I could not ask for more
