Happy Anniversary!

Last year before we got married Keith and I wrote e-mails to each other and sent them through futureme.org so we would get them on our first anniversary.  When I read mine this morning it made my day!

Dear Rachel,

I remember seeing you for the very first time 4 years ago at Marks house.  You had a gorgeous smile and a body to die for.  I hoped that I would be able to get you to notice me.  I had not planned on meeting anyone that night, and never expected to be meeting anyone like you.  I knew as soon as you were getting into my car that we had a little chemistry between us.  Then at the club, I tried every thing I could to get you to notice me, and finally you did. I wasnt planning on staying out late because I worked at 6am the next morning.  I couldnt get enough of you and ended up spending the rest of the night with you and leaving to go to work strait from where we were at.  From that day on we have spent almost all of our free time together. Over the next few years we have had our battles, however we have been able to weather all the storms so far.

Then a year ago we got married, it was a quick little ceremony and then we were off to Mexico for the honey moon.  I hope you had a wonderful time and we made great memories to last a life time (especially since who knows when we will ever get a chance to go back).  Which leads us to today, our first anniversary.  I hope the past year has been a great time for both of us and that we havent had any major issues come up.  I just wanted to know that I do love you and you are still the best thing that has ever happened to me.  As the song goes " You are my sunshine, my only sun shine...You make me happy when skies are gray,  You'll never no dear how much I love you...So please don't take my sunshine away"    You do make me happy, and even when we argue, I would still rather be with you then anyone else in the world.  I hope I have been able to make you happy during the past year and I hope we have many more happy years to come.
I love you and I look forward to seeing you tonight.

I love you Keith!  Happy anniversary!

Cathederal of the Madeleine

This weekend we're taking the kids to the Cathedral of the Madeleine.  I'm so excited!  I love that place!   We took an online virtual tour of it today in preparation and I hope that the kids enjoy our trip as much as I know I will!  I remember being a teenager and seeing the Cathedral for the first time.  This is when I knew that one day I would become Catholic.  Every time I go there it makes me happy but this time we get a tour, I really can't wait!!!  Needless to say, I am the most excited person in the whole family!  =)
