Kinky Gazpacho: 13 Years Later

Hola Meltingpot Readers,

For you my faithful readers, you know I don't use this blog to talk too much about my 'personal life,' but I wanted to share that yesterday el esposo and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary. Here's how we celebrated. El esposo got up as usual before 7 a.m. to get the boys ready and off to school. I didn't see him again until 10 p.m. when he arrived home from a full day of teaching and then taking classes. I worked all day, then spent my evening hauling kids to and from baseball practice, then karate class. I think we wished each other Happy Anniversary for the first time at midnight before falling into an exhausted sleep.

Not much of a celebration right? Well, we were supposed to celebrate last weekend in New York, just the two of us, but the grandparents, for reasons beyond their control, couldn't keep the kids as planned. So the New York 'just the two of us' weekend, became a family outing.

But guess what? I'm still happy. I'm still 'celebrating.' I think the fact that we can keep this crazy lifestyle going, that we have three happy kids, that we are individually and as a couple chasing our dreams, is pretty awesome. And even though el esposo and I fight -- in English and Spanish -- I still think he's pretty darn cute and he can always make me laugh. Thirteen years later, yeah, that's something to celebrate.

Happy! Happy!

Peace!
