Tonight Jake and I celebrated our 8th anniversary. Not a huge milestone, but still special. I spent the day taking kids to school, pushing a cart full of kids through walmart with a baby strapped to my chest, changing poopy diapers, vacuuming up cheerios under the couch, spreading peanut butter on apples, and nursing my baby every 4 hours. Then our babysitter came over so Jake and I could go have dinner.
Its not a glamorous life we lead. But it sure is blessed. It was so nice to sit across the table and see a man that truly is my other half. I'm so thankful to be married to my best friend. He understands me. He gets me and I get him. We have the same sense of humor and the same tastes in food. The same goals and the same dreams. He is my home. We have so much in common but we're just enough different to keep each other balanced. With each passing year, we grow closer and get better at this thing called marriage. I can't imagine my life without him. We aren't perfect but we sure are in love. :)
Happy Anniversary, Babe. I love you so much.
Congratulations! My husband and I are going on 11 years in August and we feel the same way about each other as you guys do. It's the best feeling isn't it? I come from a family of broken marriages and feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband to grow old with!
