Happy Anniversary

My husband rarely reads my blog... but I hope he does today...

Today is our 2 year wedding anniversary. This makes me very happy! We've been together almost 5 years but for the past 2 years I've been able to call myself his wife. I consider it a privilege to be his wife, to stand beside him and go through life together. Cheesy as it may seem I am so happy to be able to have him and spend everyday with him and love him above all. He's one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

In a time where love seems to just be a word people throw around I am happy to know that Jr and I really love each other.

It hasn't been an easy journey to get where we are... with lots of fights and lessons learned along the way... but anything worth having takes some work. We've grown together. Sometimes we argue but I know that after we blow off some steam we can turn around and come back and grow stronger together.

I am amazed at how my life has turned out in just 5 short years. He was a baby when we got together (remember he's 1 1/2 younger than me) and he took on responsibilities for me that I am sure no other person would just jump into without hesitation. Especially for an 18 year old boy straight out of high school. Choosing to be in a relationship with me meant having to put up with a lot of baggage and put up with me. And although he had to learn a lot he never once complained. And because of that I am thankful to have him. He really truly is my other half and the only person I can depend on. No matter how bad things get I always remind him that if nothing else we have each other.

Last night we took a walk... And as I was pushing Alayna in her stroller, I looked at Jr right next to me pushing Arielle in her stroller and Diego in front of us riding his scooter and I couldn't help but smile at these simple moments that we spend together. Its hard to believe that in 5 short years my life has become this full. And I love every minute of it.

Sweetheart, I know we're not perfect but if we keep our goals and priorities in sync then I think we can try to accomplish everything we want. Sometimes we frustrate eachother but I want you to know that at the end of the day I am always in your corner. As long as we put eachother first above all then I know we can get through anything. I hope I make you as happy as you make me! Thank you for all you do for me, thank you for asking me to spend the rest of my life with you, and thank you for loving me even when I am at my worst... through the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's me and you against the world baby.

I love you. And Happy Anniversary!
