Today, Troy and I celebrate our 8th Wedding Anniversary. Although it is very easy to look upon our lives as somewhat chaotic - today I begin November and another year of marriage reminding myself of how thankful I truly am for the things that we have and share each day. As I got up this morning the rain was pouring down and all I could think about was getting to spend the day with him. Few people truly know that he began his day at 4AM this morning when his alarm went off, so that he could go to work and spend the entire day outside in the rain - because we are right in the middle of our annual shutdown. I knew - but didn't care. Spending the day with him meant that by working in the same place, I got to hear his voice on the radio - listening to him help and assist in any way that he knew how. Spending the day with him meant that I could see him at lunch time - because that is truly the only time he was going to have today for something non-work related. Spending the day with him meant that I could watch the clock and anxiously await going home when he does so that we can sit and watch the football game - while celebrating over some take-out order ... because both of us are too tired to cook dinner. Spending the day with him - means just that ..."sharing the same space, sharing the same time .... sharing the same day" with the man that I love.
I am not a fancy person, I do not need exotic vacations or expensive gifts .... I just need my husband. He is the one that I am truly thankful for - on this first day of November, 2010.
