How lucky am I?



Yesterday was our anniversary. Seems crazy that it's already been 3 years...until I was looking at our wedding photos and we look a lot younger! Anyway, Dave took me out for a delicious Indian feast. (Kim watched Thomas) Great food with terrible service...which is a lot better than great service with terrible food, which is more of the norm here in Calgary. We then watched 'The Social Network' - which we actually watched at Dave's parents' house since they have a big screen tv, the movie was free, and we got free snacks and babysitting service too. Oh and every movie in this city either starts in the hour of 7 or the hour of 10 - so not very convenient times.

Anyhow, Mark Zuckerberg is the same age as us and was a classmate of all the people from my class at Stuy who went to Harvard. And now he's a billionaire. The youngest person to become a billionaire. It's easy to think for a second, wait - what did I do wrong? But then I looked around me and thought, he doesn't have anything. And I wouldn't trade my boys for anything in the world. How lucky am I?
