Celebrating our Wedding Anniversary

Filed in archive Politics of Parenting by Melissa Petri on September 26, 2005

BC - Before Children
AC - After Children

BC was the time when my husband and I only had each other. We did everything that we wanted. 3 years afterwhich, we decided that we were ready for a child. Our lives changed completely and we never looked back.

Major changes in our life as a couple but with not one iota of regret entering our minds.

However, when my husband and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversarylinks, we did what we took for granted BC and what we had difficulty scheduling AC: we ate, shopped and watched a movie, without an impatient toddler in tow. That day, we focused on each other.

We spent the day gorging ourselves with Starbucks coffee/dessert and Japanese food. And then we watched a movie and walked around the shopping district looking for new tech toys. It was a lot like going out with one of my bestfriends, except that we were both dressed to the nines and were holding hands.

The butterflies in my stomach have long gone away. Instead, it was replaced by a heart that constantly jumps and runs due to motherhood. But hey, I have no complaints. My relationship with my husband may not be as romantically intense but what we share now make for an enduring relationship.

I have always kept in mind that I am not just a parent. I am also an individual and a wife. That day, I enjoyed focusing on being just a wife.
