And on to happier topics....

 It was our 13th anniversary on Tuesday and it was so nice to celebrate our love!  Rob was so sweet and had gotten me gorgeous roses - we got gussied up and went out to a lovely dinner at Market in Del Mar...delicious.  It's one of those "foodie" places where all the flavors pair so amazingly together - every single thing was delightful!

Reflecting back on these 13 years, we are so incredibly blessed.  We have had more fun together, laughed so much, loved so deeply and truly and I am so grateful to have such a true partner.  These past few months in particular keep reminding me of how steadfast and loyal Rob is - I couldn't ask for a better partner through this crap, or in life.  He is truly my best friend and I'm so very grateful for him!  He always has the perfect thing to say when I'm feeling so frustrated and hopeless, he goes with me and quickly takes me back from Bluesy Pooville, he drives me to all my appointments and keeps my company while I'm tortured on that damn chair.  He's encouraging, uplifting and makes me laugh...love that guy.
