It’s nice to know that any thoughts of interrupting our family meals or playtime in some of London’s parks are quickly thwarted when people lay eyes on Oliver. It makes our time truly our time, as a family.
I hit a bunch of buttons on the camera until finally the green one pops up and the “REC” symbol flashes. I’m terrible with electronics and I’m glad I got it to work to capture this moment. I can’t wait to embarrass the kids when they start dating, which Oliver says will be after he’s been dead at least ten years.
I’m not sure if he’s only worried about our kids or if it’s just that he wants all of their time for us. He’s always planning family things, outings, game nights…everything under the sun.
It helps me tremendously as it’s allowed me to focus on my career, which gives me a lot of satisfaction. And the fact that Oliver did so well financially before he even turned thirty-years-old means that the interest alone off his investments is enough for us to send the kids to the best schools and bring people in to help clean the house twice a week. Compound interest is definitely the eighth wonder of the world, and not just when it comes to money.
My love for him seems to compound every year, just growing on what we already have.
All the times I think there’s just no way I can’t love him more he surprises me in some new, exciting way and he brings out new and even more passionate feelings than the intense ones I already have.
Plus it doesn’t hurt that I’m thirty-three now and my sex drive is in complete overdrive.
Things were always extremely hot between the two of us, but now I find I can’t keep my hands off of him just as much as he can’t keep his off me. I’m more confident and take-charge in the bedroom than I ever was, exploring sides of me that I only could with someone who I trusted and loved as much as him…someone I’ve loved since I first knew what love was…him and only him.
I feel his hand on the back of my leg as I continue filming.
He squeezes me tight, letting me know he’s there…that he’s always been there and always will be there.
Out of nowhere Zoe sneezes. The entire crowd smiles, including us.
I point the camera at Oliver.
“Zoe, when you’re watching this a hundred years from now when you have kids just remember…Christmas trees can sneeze. The scent of pine can…get ya!”
We both laugh and I pan the camera back to the stage, as our little Christmas tree, Zoe, grabs her nose trying not to sneeze again.
I zoom in on her face and the star on top of her head.
She’s one of the stars in our family, one of ten.
Or one in eleven as Oliver likes to say. He says all our ten kids are little stars but the first star, the one that shines the brightest, is me.
That may be true, but in my world he’s the sun…burning bright, making us feel all warm inside, and that big thing we can all rely on each and every day, and the man all my happiness revolves around.
Sure, I have my own life too, but it all pales in comparison to him and the joy he’s brought me, and the family he’s given me.
Family first. Family always. We always follow our hearts home, with our family, is where they always lead.
