Yesterday

was our 9th wedding anniversary. How did we celebrate? At 9:00pm, we sat at our kitchen counter and ate take-out Mexican food before we each settled in to our couches for the evening. I watched the American Idol finale; he fell asleep watching the Twins. I should have told him this, but instead, I'm writing it because that's what I do.

9 reasons why I love my husband

1. He is the most generous person I know...well, maybe besides his mom.

2. He likes to help people. Seriously, I think he drives around looking for people to help. He even helps people who don't really need help.

3. He always leaves me his last bite of food. I think he's always left his last bite, I just eat it.

4.He knows practically everything about everything, and what he doesn't know, he can figure out.

5. He passed his smart genes onto our children.

6. He works his buns off to provide for our family.

7. He encourages me to shop.

8.He doesn't let my bad moods affect his good moods.

9. He might even believe that what's mine is mine, and what's his is ours.

You know the person who returns carts to the cart corral after lazy people leave them in the middle of the parking lot? That would be my husband.

Our week...so far

It started with a fun weekend at Krista's. Eli ran a mile for school.
Eli started t-ball.
Tonight, Eli and I ran a half mile with Jack, Ella, and Erin.
Then, we went to Noah's Bible School program. Wow! The Peterson's have never been so busy!!



Joel even ran 4.5 miles this week.



Yet to come for me.... a 5k with some great friends tomorrow night.



a Saturday morning 10k with those same great friends plus my dad and sister minus Erin who will be running the half marathon.

My husband

This is just one of the many different clothing ensembles he put together over Easter weekend. Currently, he is flying to Arizona to accept an award for being one of Wells Fargo's TOG (Technology and Operations Group) 2010 top performers. He probably won't be thrilled that I mentioned this, but we are VERY proud of him.

Saturday

In the morning, my dad, Erin and I ran a 10k for a good cause. My mom and Noah came to cheer us on. Luckily, the race took place before this happened. Joel took Eli to the bank to start a savings account. He was all about bringing his birthday checks, but he wasn't so sure about taking any of the cash he had at home. I think he might have changed his mind after he received a few treasures from the bank. This is his favorite. It's a whistle with a compass, magnifying glass, and thermometer; definitely worth the $250!


Thanks to my parents, Joel and I had a night out in honor of my birthday(only a month later). We had a great dinner, a couple of martinis, and were sleeping by 10:30. We must be getting old!
