They are so cute together lately - they interact and show that they love each other more and more every day. They love holding hands when they walk around - taking turns as the leader. They also like to tackle each other with hugs and kisses on the bed. Of course they play together too - they generally want to do what the other is doing. It's helpful to us that they will now also go retrieve the other when we ask them to - sometimes this is achieved verbally, sometimes by hand holding, sometimes by pushing. :) Yesterday when we played with Play Do Kara pulled her chair out and moved it so it would be directly next to Anna's. Just a tiny example of the niceness that goes on between them every day. Best friends - and my loves.
My first and best love and I started dating 10 years ago today. That's a long time. I am so thankful for him - and for how much we have both grown and changed over the past 10 years. It's embarrassing to think about how young and silly I was 10 years ago as a freshman in college when I "liked Andrew" and pined for him, frustrated by the fact that we were "best friends" and nothing more. Silly how long those few months were before he approached me about dating instead of just being friends (even mentioning marriage). And how we had a dance party in my room when he left after his historic speech. Those were the days. I have to admit, though, that I enjoy these days so much more. As I watch my love provide for us, husband me, and father my children, I am filled with joy at the lives God has given us. Most of the time anyway - I do still have some of that silly insecure girl in me...which is okay, it reminds me how far we've come.
