February 17, 2011

Nine years ago today my then boyfriend, who is now my husband, decided to make it our official anniversary date. We met a few days before and just seem to hit it off right away. Our first date was on Valentines Day, even though we don't celebrate it anymore. Three years later, we decided to take it one step further and tied the knot on February 17, 2005. So we have our 9 years total together and 6 years married on the same date, which is awesome so that we don't forget =).

Even though we moved quickly in the beginning of our relationship, we've come a long way with a 9 year old son and 2 year old twin boys. We have the most beautiful little family any couple could ask for. We've been through all the fights that any normal couple would have and we still worked through it. For us, we knew that having kids would change everything. We've had to make sacrifices and compromises to make things work for us. Nine years later it still works for us. We have faith in our marriage and we never gave up on each other, even when we've felt ready to give up, we didn't.

My husband is my best friend, my rock and my heart. He is always there for me when I need him, to confide in him. His shoulder is always ready for me to cry on when I'm having a bad day. He hasn't always been the best listener, but I must say he's grown to become the best person I can talk to and he'll listen. He's a great father to our 3 beautiful children. He's the best provider for our little family, even though he's been burned before, it hasn't stopped him from achieving his career goals. With out him, I don't know what I would do. He's a strong man with dedication to his work and his family. I am so proud of him and will always be by his side holding his hand. I have to admit I am a happy girl to be married to the most amazing man I have ever known. Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband. I love you baby, and I am looking forward to many more anniversaries.
