9/19 - Our anniversary

Holy Shit! I almost forgot it's our anniversary today. My stupid pregnant brain is messing me up. I even spilt coffee all over myself this morning.

To be specific, it's our wedding anniversary. And yes, we do and try to celebrate other anniversaries, like, the very first date, the very first kiss, the very first time he finally said I love You, and the first of a lot of things. Yeah DearJulie is cheesy. She likes all the girly stuff. Though we don't celebrate 2/14. For the record, we celebrate 2/15.

BUT, I never demand gifts. Because TB always says that he is the best gift he could ever give me. I could ask for no more.

It's only been two years and so much has happened - so much that I didn't expect has happened. Blueberry seems to know how exciting 9/19 is for us because he has been kicking non-stop today. Yes, blueberry is definitely something we didn't fully expect. We thought this guy would wait until the year of horse.

This year, no trip and no gift, no special reason - I really don't need anything. I already have TB - the best husband ever. And, we do need to save money for raising a baby. Babies are frigging expensive. I don't understand how people, especially people who couldn't afford, can keep pooping babies. I mean, knowing how expensive raising babies is, that's enough to stop a guy from getting up. Don't you think?

Here's the vow I wrote on our wedding day and I read it in front of all our family and friends: it's framed and hung in my office.

My Kelvin, my Copain* - the one I share the bread with.
It took me a long time to learn how to live with you.
Now, I realized I can never live without you.

Thank you for letting me be the independent me.
Thank you for letting me be the feminist me.

As much as it goes against my feminist belief
Today, I want to declare to the world that I belong to you.

So World, listen up - Julie belongs to Kelvin.

Our life, together, is moving forward every day as my belly grows bigger every day. I think our kid will appreciate a bitchy mom and a jackass dad, because we make a perfect pair.

Lucky you, little blueberry.

*Copain is the our favorite wine maker and that's what we served at our wedding and when we have dinner parties. And it is French, meaning someone to share the bread with. I was not making it up.
