Lots of stuff happening around here!
1. We felt the tremors of an earthquake this morning! Around 5:30 am we woke up to the windows rattling. I thought it was a tornado at first till I saw the lamp on my night stand shaking. I remembered that you should get out of your house during an earthquake but by the time I got to the closet to get my robe it was over. The epicenter was about 150 from here.
It was really weird. I've been reading about how frequently they have earthquakes in Guatemala. Many families on visit or pick-up trips talk about feeling the hotels shake. I remember thinking that if one happens while we're there, that'd be my first one. Nope. Happened here first!
2. Aidan's 2nd DNA has been done, sent to the lab, and the results are their way back to the embassy!!! We will be going in a matter of a short few weeks or less!!!
3. Dave and I had our 10 year wedding anniversary. Ten years of wedded bliss...and other stuff. I won't go on too long about the significance of being married ten years, because I figure that unless you've been married fifty years, you still have a lot to learn.
But I do know that I love Dave more than I did our first year of marriage. I know that we will always battle and bicker. I know that I don't trust marriages where people don't argue. I know that as much as he can drive me crazy, I still don't like to be apart from him. I know that when we got married my brain didn't know what we'd have together - especially our two children, but my heart knew it was possible.
Most of all I know that the only advise I would give women who are looking for "the one" - Pick someone you truly love because it's not easy to be married but when you really love the person all things are possible.

Happy Anniversary! Kevin and I will be married 11 years tomorrow! Congratulations on DNA being done! You will have your son home forever soon!
Oh now....you said you didn't trust marriages where people don't bicker...now Ralph and I do pretty good, we've made it almost 27 years and I hope we have another 27 together.
Actually, you and Dave were meant for each other and you were meant to be the parents of Emmy and Aidan.
All things work out just as they should.
Happy Anniversary.
Love,
Teri and Ralph
