Ten Years of Wild Monkey Behaviour
Ten years ago today, I was tossing my cookies, while holding back my veil trying not to splatter puke on it.
Not that the idea of marrying Boo was vomit inducing, far from it. But seeing as how we were rabbits back then whose sole purpose in life was um, procreating; your oldest son, approximately four gestational months old, was making my life difficult while your eight month old daughter was preventing me from actually sleeping (or eating anything other than dried cheerios.)
Last year, on our nine anniversary, while still reeling from our loss, I wrote pretty words of love for you. Of course, since then, I have pointed out to the world what an asshat you can be. I do on occasion, to prevent people from thinking you are a complete twit, point out some of your admirable qualities.
This year, I am taking a new direction. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. May you read these pictures and feel all of the love, joy, exasperation, happiness, annoyance, sadness, occasional anger, perpetual lust, friendship and kindness that I feel towards my husband.
Against all odds, and countless bets made between our relatives and our pastor, we have survived. Flourished. And brought more of our crazy genes in to help with my plans of global domination.
Here is to decades more of being a thorn in your mother’s side. I love you.
Now please excuse me, I have a flight to catch to surprise my husband this evening. I have planned an evening filled with expensive champagne (followed up with wild monkey sex) for the two of us. I’ll be back tomorrow, hung over, happy, and hopefully wearing a very big smile.
Ten years later and we still can’t keep our hands off each other.
***Special thanks to all our children, family, friends and local liquor store employees who have helped us make it this far. Take a bow people. You’ve earned it.***

Ya’ll are in incredible, insatiable template for how it’s done…ok, so you haven’t gone so far as to show us how you do it, though you’ve described it with great knee chafing clarity, no peekaboo shots yet.
I hope you have an incredible getaway,wishing you Heather Locklear morning after bed head and the bounce back ability after overindulging of a Lindsey Lohan.

Love the wedding photos. You’re both gorgeous. Have a fabulous time and enjoy the hot monkey sex.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:32 am
Happy Anniversary!!!
(Me and my Hubby will be celebrating our tenth in two more months.)
Congratulations and here is to many more for you and your Boo.

Happy Anniversary. Maybe you should suprise him by dressing in a “hot Asian chick” outfit while asking him out for coffee.
I’m not sure what a “hot Asian chick” outfit would look like though.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:45 am
You are a very gorgeous couple! =) Congrats on 10 years! Hopefully the naysayers lost their butts with their betting against you.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:52 am
Congratulations! LOVE the wedding dress.
May 10th, 2007 at 10:17 am
Happy anniversary, and many more. Here’s to monkey sex!
P.S. You know how I, too, am less than endowed in the chest department and have a pale complexion? Well, I also say the words “quarter” and “sorry” in what people have told me is a Canadian accent. Do you think we might be long lost sisters?
May 10th, 2007 at 10:31 am
Beautiful post, beautiful couple. Right there with you on the bets thing - we’ll be 14 years in October, and we were so young then that few believed we’d last 6 months. We’ve outlasted at least 4 marriages that happened after ours.
Have a wonderful night and here’s to many, many more years of making people shake their heads. Happy anniversary.
May 10th, 2007 at 11:31 am
Happy 10th Anniversary to both of you! In this day and age I think that is a great milestone! We have our 10th next year.
Have a fun time wink wink!!
I’m sure MY out-laws are still doing the “lets hope they fail dance”!!
May 10th, 2007 at 11:41 am
Happy Anniversary, you monkeys!
(and after seeing these pictures I’ve decided that you can’t be my roomie at Blogher. You - and that husband of yours - are just too damn good looking. I might not be able to restrain myself… from suffocating you with a pillow. hee hee)
May 10th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Happy Anniversary!
Suprising the hubby with wild monkey sex. Nice!
May 10th, 2007 at 12:58 pm
Congrats! I think someone still owes us a steak dinner for making it past 5 (we’re on 16). Fun.
May 10th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
Congrats on 10 wild & wonderful years! May you have another 50 more!!!! Beautiful pix
May 10th, 2007 at 2:02 pm
Happy 10th!!! Those are GREAT pictures. I hope you have a great time and aren’t tooo terribly hung over tomorrow.
May 10th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
Holy crap, if you do not win the hottest blogger award I swear I will think someone rigged it! Smokin!!!
May 10th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
dude, you monkeys are so freakin’ adorable. and i was thinking how slender you were at four months pregnant with #2…but then i suppose a diet of cheerios isn’t exactly nourishing, is it?
congrats to you both, and yay to all those who laid money on your side. all…um…three of them?
i would’ve bet on ya. you’re both too cute to let go of.
my genuine congratulations, T…seriously, you and i both know how few couples survive the loss of a child. and i think it’s a testament to Bug that you haven’t let grief destroy you. now go enjoy that monkey sex.
(which, btw, i think you must have been enjoying for MORE than ten years despite the title of this post…seeing as Frac & Fric’s presence in the wedding photo suggests a certain, erm, intimacy. wink wink.)
May 10th, 2007 at 4:25 pm
Happy Anniversary!!!! And many more to come!
Gorgeous photos - thanks for sharing with us:).
May 10th, 2007 at 5:41 pm
Congratulations and happy anniversary!
Your pictures were beautiful!!!
May 10th, 2007 at 6:56 pm
Hot damn you two are inspiring not to mention smokin’! He’s gotta be dutch…
heartiest of congratulations!
May the next ten years be the delightful shagfest it has been thus far….
May 10th, 2007 at 7:05 pm
So damn cute, you two.
It’d be annoying if you weren’t so NICE.
Hope you have a wonderful anniversary!
May 10th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
Happy Anniversary you are adorable
May 10th, 2007 at 7:43 pm
Happy anniversary!
May 10th, 2007 at 10:51 pm
What great pictures!!
Now I can add to my stalker shrine!! woohoo.
Happy Anniversary. I hope this year brings you more joy and laughter, a highway wind at your hubby’s back and entirely too much horizontal refreshment. So be it. Amen. Shamalamadingdong.

Your dress was classically beautiful and you looked gorgeous in it. Don’t worry, even after twenty years (as in my case) you will still not be able to keep your hands off each other. Here’s to a lifetime of love and “wild monkey sex.”
May 11th, 2007 at 9:27 am
AWWWWWWWW!!!! I loves me the love.
May 11th, 2007 at 11:01 am
I love this!!!! Happy, happy anniversary to you two! I hope you had all the monkey sex and expensive champagne you could handle!
Here’s to many more beautiful pictures!!
May 11th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
i somehow missed the fact that your oldest kidlets were so freaking close in age. and yet you *still* look totally slim and serene. and young. (i was/am of “advanced maternal age…”
boo’s a little bit hot. is it ok to say that?
(you are too, of course)
May 11th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
you make me feel all weepy inside. nothing does it like this kind of love.
May 11th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Boo is HOT. I meant to add that yesterday.
I can see why you can’t keep your hands off each other. lol. Obviously there’s some massive chemistry between you - but you guys are purty;).
May 11th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Congrats! Hope you guys have fun. I’d say, “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do” but that pretty much leaves everything as an option.
May 11th, 2007 at 5:25 pm
Whoo Hoo! Enjoy, you two monkeys.
May 11th, 2007 at 6:52 pm
I, too, was struck by your lack of a tummy at 4 months pregnant with your second. I fully expect to look like I’m 9 months pregnant at 2 months with #2.
I love that you’re flying there for one night to get it on. Nicely done. Have fun!
May 11th, 2007 at 7:05 pm
I was just reunited with my husband last night after a month apart, I pray that your reunion sex is as toe curling as mine was.
Happy anniversary!
May 11th, 2007 at 7:24 pm
Congrats on your 10 yrs of marriage! You look smashing for 4 mos pregnant and with #2 at that!! You guys just so purty!
May 11th, 2007 at 9:23 pm
10 year - wow. Congrats!
Don’t disturb the jungle too much, some of us animals with spouses on business trips don’t need to be reminded.
May 12th, 2007 at 9:01 am
Happy belated anniversary you two!
May 12th, 2007 at 12:48 pm
You don’t look like no stinkin’ redneck!! You look CLASSY!
Happy Anniversary.
May 12th, 2007 at 5:44 pm
There’s nothing more beautiful than ten years of monkey love. Congrats and many more years of health, happiness, and ever afters!
May 12th, 2007 at 5:49 pm
Congratulations on ten great years. You were a beautiful bride and he was a handsome groom. I say that in the most manly of ways, of course.
Best wishes for many many more happy years.
May 12th, 2007 at 10:00 pm
Delurking to say, “Happy Mother’s Day!”
May 13th, 2007 at 6:14 am
Awwe . . . wonderful post! Happy Anniversary!
May 13th, 2007 at 6:38 am
Happiest of anniversaries, friend!!! (sorry to be late on this)
(Also? I barfed, too.)
May 13th, 2007 at 7:06 am
You crack me up T.
Happy belated anniversary.
May 13th, 2007 at 8:37 am
Awesome pics, thanks for sharing! Enjoy your rocking Mother’s Day…
May 14th, 2007 at 5:21 am
Happy anniversary T!
And by the way, you are both seriously, seriously gorgeous.
May 14th, 2007 at 7:20 am
Happy Anniversary. Hope the vines are swinging and the champagne is flowing and the monkey sex is awesome! (Just hoping it’s longer than usual monkey copulation, which would be really, really disappointing!)
May 14th, 2007 at 8:33 am
Just found your site and have enjoyed what I’ve been reading so far. Ten years! That’s great. Keep up the good work (in life and online).
May 14th, 2007 at 9:51 am
You Canucks spell funny!
May 14th, 2007 at 3:49 pm
May you both continue to make lots of magic together for many many more years.
Those photos are amazing. I can’t believe you think he would go for a younger version. Who looks that good being four months pregnant and a mother of an eight month old??? Stop whinging, girl.)
May 18th, 2007 at 5:01 pm
Happy belated anniversary. What a gorgeous couple you are! Hope you enjoyed your evening of celebration and wild monkey sex.
