Ok, so 10 years isn't that long, and they didn't feel that long, that's for sure. Jamie and I had our 10th wedding anniversary yesterday, and celebrated today with a nice hike through the Sandia's and lunch at a cafe afterwards. Very relaxing. Jordan was in school, but Jacob came along for the ride, and seems to love traveling in the hiking backpack. This was his first time out in it; he can finally see over the top, which keeps him happy. Anyway, we did a new trail today, only 4 miles roundtrip, with a view of the ABQ from the top of the main ridgeline between the north and south peaks. Gorgeous.
Yesterday, I pulled out our wedding album to show Jordan, and to look through it with my new, critical, photographer eyes (which were not impressed). Later, on the way to our walk, Jordan starts talking about weddings, and when are we going to have another wedding. So I tried explaining that you only have a wedding once, that they're not like Birthday parties. So she says, I want to have a wedding; I tell her, yes, someday. And I tell her she gets to go to TWO weddings this spring: her cousin's and her Koo-Koo Karen's. She says I want a wedding dress to wear. So I tell her, no, only the bride(s) get to wear wedding dresses. But, I say, we'll get you a really cute dress to wear to the wedding. Jordan's response? "I don't want a cute dress, I want a beautiful dress. Oh-My-Goodness!
So, to recap, I already have my 10th Anniversary to make me feel old, and my 35th Birthday, AND now my oldest child thinks she's outgrown "cute".
