This cake is a copy of the middle tier of our chocolate wedding cake, although the flowers are a slightly less demure colour than they were on the original...
It's amazing to think that we've been married for a decade. Apart from the fact that we obviously don't look old enough (well - in our heads anyway... ) it just seems like a decade would feel longer somehow.
Not that we've been idle in the last ten years. Anything but... In the decade we have got married, bought our first house, finished my degree, got my first proper job, got pregnant (twice!), given birth (twice!!), bought a bigger house (necessitated by previous activities in list...), given up job... and that's just the big things. I think it's the little things that really pass the time. Somewhere between your first child's first tooth appearing, and it falling out you've passed through five years - but been too busy to notice really.
Still, surely the next decade can't be so eventful... But who knows? In my head though - I have entitled the next decade "carry on!" By that I mean that it probably won't be filled with so many new things (or children!), but it will be carrying on with the ones I have...
Another anniversary crept by without me even noticing. My one year blogging anniversary passed me by at the start of this month - probably as I've been a bit tardy on the old blogging front recently... I'm grateful to all of you who have read and commented on my blog over the past year (after all - nobody likes the thought they that are just wittering on to themselves!...) I was wondering if you had a favourite post over the last year? Or maybe a type of post you'd like me to write more of... more Ikea-related poetry perhaps... I hope the blog will continue to be of interest, maybe funny at times, encouraging etc...
Anyway...
Carry on!
Hello!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit slow responding. Congratulations on your tenth anniversary! We're up to ten years next year - does make me feel slightly old!
Since Darcie's been born I've been reflecting on one of your posts in particular - the one about how you and Paul split your time between your boys, with you tending to spend more time with one each - unsurprisingly at the moment I'm spending more time with the breastfeeding and very attached-to-me ten week old, so Matt looks after Phoebe a bit more. But I miss her immensely - I miss playing with her and being able to give her my sole attention and respond to her immediately. And I know she misses that too. It's very hard being able to meet the needs of neither of my babies as they need.
So advice and reassurance that it will be ok, one day, will be welcome.
