9 down...

Wow, time flies when you're having fun! It really doesn't seem like all that long ago that A and I were dating and hoping that one of these days we could get married. And now we're just an old married couple with three kids, all the drama behind us.

All?

I suppose when you have three kids in the 0-6 agegroup, drama doesn't quite leave you alone. There's the daily struggles to ensure none of them dies of malnutrition by just waiting you out at the dinner table, the fights-to-the-death over some random toy that lies forgotten until one of them decides to make a bid for it, the tantrums and so on.

But apart from those inescapable scenes, life has taken on a wonderful, peaceful hue. It's something that, growing up, I never aimed for - I was a drama kind of gal. But having mellowed, I find it's wonderful to just be happy with your personal life, to be in a place where every day you're grateful to God for having been this generous, to find completion in your life partner.

A wins the Husband of the Year award all the more this year than every before. For always getting my back. For always looking out for me, in big ways and small ( including reminding me to shoe-shop in the US!!!). For being such a great dad. For being one of my guiding lights. For being the love of my life. For just being himself.

Thanks, and here's looking forward to many more years together :)
