Five Whole Years!

Side by side, year by year. 5 short years. So much has happened to us in such a small amount of time. Two children. Two Bachelor's degrees. Our first home. And yet, our relationship is still so very young! We are still learning and growing together all the time. I, of course, still have a long way to grow. But having someone there to love, cherish, and oft times endure patiently along side me, has been amazing. I could not have asked for a better husband and best friend. Chris always seem to know exactly what to say or do. He is patient with me when I don't deserve it. He's affectionate and always concerned for my welfare. He works so hard at his job and schooling, all for the needs of our family. He takes good care of us. He is Dillan's hero and Leah's Prince Charming. They are smitten with their Daddy. As am I. I can't say enough about him and how much I love him. He always puts a smile on my face, no matter what. I have learned how easy it is to take for granted all that he does for me, but I am so grateful that we have this, our special day. This is at least the one day out of the year where everything that's unimportant and unnecessary can just fade away and all that's left is the two of us and our love for eachother. Chris, I love you so much and I am so thankful for you and all that you do for me. I love how you can make me feel special every single day. I love how you love our family and take care of us without ever complaining. I love that we can grow together everyday for eternity and I look forward to it. I know we'll be laughing and holding hands the whole way.
Happy Anniversary babe!
