10th Anniversary

Life pranked me today . Had a wonderful dream about a romantic setting… me n hubby waking up to breakfast in bed n seeing the ocean view through white chiffon blinds. Couldn’t have been more amazing … 10years together alhamdullillah ❤️💐what an epic way to celebrate it

So I wake up to my 9 month old sniffing me for her milk and my toddler kissing his little sister’s hands with his usual intense love stricken look ( It usually takes like 3-5secs before Salwa starts protesting). Hubby comes in the room and scratches his head with a side smile ( some uncertainty in his eyes like ‘how do I do this’ the whole time am just avoiding eye contact because I don’t want to spook him away as he figures out how he will do this)

Finally I get a kiss on the cheek and he says ‘ Happy 10th anniversary habibti’ and he looks around at our noisy bunch as our oldest joins the commotion fighting his little brother for their helpless baby sister… ‘And this is what we are thankful for… 3 healthy happy kids’ we both chuckle ( no one ever told us this is what you should expect) my laugh was abit longer because I still had that romantic beach dream playing far back in my mind.

Am very thankful for the far we have come, so grateful for this wonderful chaotic bunch that I love with every bit of me. And so grateful for my wonderful hubby who is my rock every single day and reminds me to laugh at all the curve balls we encounter as we raise our family. May Allah always help us to see the humour in all the chaos and to always see the real blessings of life amin
