9 years

I am married nine years today...and happy to say I'm still in love with my husband. He is still my favorite person to be with. (Most of the time!) - for real, though. I love him. He is my best friend, and truly cannot imagine my life without him in it - he is a part of me - I feel quite certain I would not even be able to breathe if anything happened to him. And its not braggin, really truly its not, but -- I just feel so grateful to still be in a loving marriage, with the rates these days of divorce and cheating and broken families...I feel so grateful to have what we have. Sometimes when we're feeling sorry for ourselves, for whatever reason (usually money!) -- we stop and remind ourselves (after we complain for a bit!) of how lucky - how BLESSED - we are -- how blessed our children are, to have two parents who love Jesus, who love each OTHER - and who love these kiddos of ours...we are blessed, indeed. To have the amount of love we have in our lives...is such an enormous blessing...I am so thankful for this man (who is napping beside me) - and happy that we have loving family around us who love our kids, and will take care of them tonight so we can leave the Island - just for a short little while -- and have some Mexican food - and see Michael W.Smith in concert! I'm so excited!! just waiting for babes to wake up from his nap (Levi, not Jason!) so i can feed him before I leave him to starve so I can enjoy my date!! hahaha. hopefully that's not the case - but he is not super interested in a bottle...hopefully he'll change his mind after he realizes I am not here with my boob to satisfy his darlin' little belly....wish us both luck!! Anyways. I get very easily side-tracked....this is about my anniversary, not my babes... So, yeah -- Happy Anniversary to my hubby (who doesn't seem to be interested in reading my blog anyways...geesh!) -- I am more in love with you today than I was on our cold and windy wedding day, baby!
