11 years ago...

So as I was writing the date on my board in my classroom yesterday, I realized that 3/11 was very special. Yes, there is a band called 311, but I am talking about something else. I immediately text Matt to see if he remembered, and of course he did. March 11, 2000 was our first date...11 years ago!

It is so hard to believe where we are now. I know that neither one of us saw that first date leading us to our lives now, but we are so blessed to have each other and our precious boy, and very soon another one! I have never made a big deal about any days/dates in our lives (neither Matt or myself are ones for big recognition and such), but I find it truly special to see where we have come in 11 years! Matt has made me a better person, and I like to think I have done the same for him! ;) I am so glad we went to Steak n Shake and to see Mission to Mars on that Saturday evening 11 years ago; without that date, prom a few weeks later, and so much more, we would not be where we are today! And now to think where the next 11 years will take us!

We are about 2 1/2 weeks from my expected due date, so we are busy trying to enjoy the time left, relaxing, and also preparing for the big change! I am excited and anxious, and I sooooo cannot not wait to see what God has in store for our family.

Now off to enjoy this Saturday....agenda: get Ethan's haircut, wash baby clothes, play outside, who knows what else....
