8 years and counting....

Who would have thought that in 1993 I would meet the man I would marry?  Yes it took us 9 years to actually make it to marriage but I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Today we celebrate our 8th anniversary!  I know this isn't one of those huge milestone years, but to me it is very significant!  We have shared so much and seen so much to get to this day and that makes me so happy inside. 

We have 3 beautiful children, a great house and a wonderful relationship.  I never doubt that we are meant to be and I never want to do any of it any other way. 

We don't get much time alone these days, true.  However, we have so many laughs and good times.  My favorite time is Sunday evenings.  We dreaded Sundays so much when we were dating and apart because they were the end of a great weekend.  We would be heading back to our lives without each other for another few days or weeks.  I used to get so sick to my stomach.  Now I love sitting on the couch with you watching TV and relishing in the thought that we would still be together the next day and the next and the next. 

You are an awesome dad, a great provider and the best friend anyone could ever ask for.  Without you I would not have the 3 most wonderful children in the world.  You make me feel safe and happy every single day.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

I love you.
