…that I’ve been able to call you my husband. 

Every single moment has been a blessing or some form of a lesson that we’ve been able to share hand in hand. We’ve lived in two states, four towns, and five homes. Raised four children. You’ve graduated from college. I’ve been able to cheer you on as your career has and continues to grow. Including our side businesses we’ve owned. We had a beautiful home built from the ground up for our little family. We’ve had our first child grow up and move out. You’ve comforted me in ways you’ll never know during that big life change (we have a few years left to be sure the girls stop growing up). You manage to live in a house full of gals and don’t hesitate to paint nails or braid hair. We’ve been our lil monsters biggest fans while watching them in school, soccer, choir, band, cheerleading, a first job, various hobbies, skateboarding, tap, ballet, & jazz. We’ve both had serious health scares. We’ve said a few goodbyes. We’ve gained new family members and friends. We’ve traveled to other countries and states with our kiddos. We’ve experienced a few Daddy & Mama getaways. We’ve taught our children and somehow manage to learn more from them than we can ever imagine teaching them. Somehow as different as our personalities are we seldom seem to clash. And when we manage to piss each other off we know it’s never above us to say I’m sorry to one another. Seriously thankful that’s not very often (the fighting, not the appologies). You’re happy to have me be a housewife, yet treat me as your equal. You never hesitate to help me cook or clean. We love our moments home with our family just as much as we value our time alone. You always have our family’s best interest in mind. Always put us first and always defend us. You support my wacky ideas. I swear sometimes you must read my mind. We share some of the most comical inside jokes and moments. You make me laugh like no other. You also make me feel loved like no other. You are so much more than my hubster & father of my lil monsters. You are easily one of my absolute favorite people in the world! You sir hold the key to my heart. Can’t wait to see what this next year brings with you by my side. 

Happy 8th anniversary love!?
