i didn't realize march was next week already until my daughter reminded me last night. february has been such an eventful month that i didn't realize how quickly it was coming to an end.
just a quick recap on whats been going on.
pary and i celebrated our 12 years anniversary. if you don't know us, we are a very cheesy couple lol. every celebration we always try to do something different besidse just going out to dinner. being pregnant this year i was pretty tired. plus our anniversary fell on a night i had to work so we didn't plan on doing anything until that following weekend.
came home exhausted and ready to jump into bed my sweet husband managed to put the kids to sleep early and then he sang me a song (love will keep us alive by eagles). he was so nervous it was so cute. pary loves to sing and has a great voice but he's very shy so it must be something super special for him to sing in front of me. :D
after that he took my hands and brought me to the living room where he turned off the light except the pretty christmas lights (yes i know we still have christmas lights up on our wall) the kids love the lights so we still have them up no our wall. anyways.. pary turned on pandora and just typed in 80's music and whatever song came up we just danced to. and sure enough it was "lost in your eyes" by debbie gibson. i have not heard this song since who knows how long. brought me tears. my spirit was flying all over the place. we slow danced and it was more then perfect.
and to think i was going to just go straight to bed. sometimes we get so busy and so tired of our everyday life and tasks that we forget to just stop and get lost in each other's eyes and arms. how can we not make time for our husband or wife?
that was our evening. i look back at the last 12 years and i asked my husband what was his best memories. he replied that the birth of our children were his best memories because you can't repeat those memories. they are once in a lifetime. i look back and the best memories i cherish are not the big ones although i am thankful and grateful for them, but for me, its the small things that were able to bring us as far as today. the small moments like dancing to "i get lost in your eyes" in your living room. its times like these that we can't deny our love for one another.
our celebration continues....
as much as pary and i love spending time alone, we never do anything without the children. we always celebrate it with us, and then a seperate celebration wtih the kids. tiffany and landon were so happy to be joining us on our anniversary celebration. i feel it is important to get your children to enjoy this special occasion as well.
we didn't tell them what we had plan. but we did tell them that we will be going out on a surprise celebration to celebrate mommy and daddy's love for 12 years.
it was so cute, the next morning after pary and i danced, i told tiffany while she was getting ready for school, i told her what her daddy did for me and how he sang me the song and we danced under the romantic lights, she lit up with excitment. she wanted to hear the song her daddy sang to me, and she wanted to know the song we danced to too. and then she said, 'oh mommy, i cannot wait until i get married too". brought me tears to my eyes that she sees marriage as a beautiful thing.
anyways.. we surprised the weekend celebration going to the ice castle since the kids been begging us to go but i refuse because everyone who went said that it is freezing cold. good thing we choose an evening that was pretty warm. the children had a lot of fun. i was done in an hour. i got so cold. lol. we saw ice princess and watched the fire dancers which tiff enjoyed so much. after that we had dinner at the rainforest cafe. it was a sweet week~!
last but not least, i wrote a song for my husband for our 12 year anniv. i've been learning to play the guitar for the last month and so i decided to write him a song. i wish i woulda video recorded that night i sunged it to him, he was so shock. he heard that my brother has been teaching me but he has never heard me play before so that night was the first time he heard me. he was so impress. he still think my brother helped me right it but nope.. i wrote it all by myself.
i did load it up on my youtube page so here it is. not the best but enjoy.
