15 years....

Fifteen years ago yesterday I married this guy....right here....

He was 21 and I was 19.

27th September 1997...

I would never have guessed that the few weeks after finishing year 12, I would meet and fall in love with this man....

He has made my life so incredibly happy...we have had 5 beautiful babies

gone on some incredible holidays

laughed till our bellies aches....truly...this man is hilarious...

I can honestly say, even though we've had our fair share of arguments over the years

especially the early years...I have never ever not once regretted

getting married so young....

This guy is the best thing in my life....

We are perfectly suited and he gets my weird...not a lot of people in my life get my weird..and whats more..I know my weird is what he loves the most about me...

There is never ever anything i wouldn't say to him...i still call him my boyfriend or my best friend when answering the phone....

I think my son may roll his eyes at it...but the little ladies all giggle and say

 "he's not your boyfriend, he's your husband Mummmmmmm"....

and that in itself makes us laugh....us being lovie makes my children giggle...

The first 15 years has been full of growing up, getting to know one another more, pregnancies, having babies, and no sleep

I seriously cannot wait to see what the next 15 years beings us....

we went out for dinner last night...we left the children at my sisters house...she has 6 children already...I think she is a brave woman for offering...
We left her house at 6:45 and went to a restaurant that we went to on our one year anniversary...
We ordered our drinks and our meals and while we waited, we talked...and talked and talked...
you see....there is one thing about Naz and I that I love...
We talk a lot..there is almost never a silence between us...we have so much to say to one another...we laugh a lot...a heck of a lot...
I dread the day we run out of things to say to one another, but it hasn't happened yet...I wonder if it would happen?
The best part about our conversations is.....we don't just talk about the kids...I mean we do...sometimes ...but we mostly talk about our dreams, our past, our future..and always always throw in some kick ass jokes...
he's a better joke teller than me...

Let me tell you one i shared with him ( i told my friend this the other day )

Knock knock
who's there?
Adair.
Adair who?
Adair once but now I'm bald.....

:-)


I thought it was funny... :-)

Anyhow..we ate dinner and when the waitress asked us what we wanted for dessert i turned to Naz with a brilliant idea....
I suggested we go get our babies early from Bianca's and take them to their favourite ice cream shop as a treat...it's only fair they share in the celebrations too...he totally agreed
So that's just what we did...
The children we're so happy....which made us happy...even though we had only left them at my sisters for a little over an hour...we knew we'd have more time at home once they were in bed...
Oh and before I go...I thought I'd share with you what I bought my husband for our anniversary present...and let me just say..this present would be meaningless to the average blow Joe ..yes this present would probably be offensive to someone married for a year or two with no babies...
but when you have a house full of little people and no where to hide this present means the world....
I bought my husband a door handle with a lock on it for our bathroom door....
really!!!!
and he was over the moon...
why didn't you have a lock on your bathroom door in the first place I hear you say...??
Well we just didn't, we kept meaning too, but sort of put it off and would always just say to one another...if only there was a lock on this damn door ;-) ...
the front toilet has a lock, the children's toilet/bathroom has a lock, but ours didn't...
and so now...yeah baby...we can escape if we need to...woop woop!
we can shower in peace...without the aspect of a child walking in on us...wink wink!!!
and most of all we can use the damn toilet without a few children in their talking to us...
Privacy gets more and more important as the children get older...and to be honest as we grow weary of never having a moment to pee alone, in our own bathroom, a lock is super important...
So this present represents so much to us both...Clover is our only real little person here and when the children were little the thought of locking them out of anywhere was horrifying...but now..it's kind of awesome...
Oh and b.t.w...Naz ran for his tools and installed it within minutes of me giving it to him...
I cant wait to really use it...foh reals!!!!

I hope you all have a beautiful weekend..ours begins tomorrow...yay!!!
I love Saturdays, they come a close second to my absolute adoration of Fridays...
