We've been through so much together in 4 years of marriage & to think it's still the beginning (we've been friends since 2003, started out as close, close guy + girl friends and then fell in love). Actually, this is what I love most about my husband - his friendship. He is so funny, he has made me laugh since day one. I also love that he lets me have "control" over a bunch of issues (like kid stuff - he just trusts me most of the time and will go with my suggestions). He's so amazingly artistic and creative - he has a natural talent and gift to create things, video, pictures, you name it. He's a wonderful daddy, too. Watching him play with our kids is one of my favorite hobbies now. I can't help but have a huge smile when I see them all toegther. He's such a family man. He loves his family and his roots and has embraced mine, too.
We've had a few highs, a few lows, and a lot of "in between" moments in these 4 years. Our everyday normal, hustle and bustle life is just where I want to be right now & although exhausting, (work, kids, dinner, bath, bedtime, more books?, bottles, nursing, running, outside, inside, playing, laughing, singing, dancing, disciplining, ahhhh...,) I wouldn't trade a single part of it. (Well, okay, tantrum episodes YOU may now leave the building.)
The low for me in our first 4 years would definitely be our miscarriage in 2008. That time was the saddest I've ever been in my whole life. Ted was right there through it all, just there for me to cry on. And Mocha, man I would just snuggle her while in pain, tears everywere...I love that dog. I wasn't even THAT far along, but you know, it doesn't matter. As soon as you know you're expecting a baby you have the rest of their - your - life mapped out. And then....gone. On the other hand, the absolute highs of the past 4 years have been the births of our two beautiful children. I truly feel like a lucky, lucky woman to have these two babies. Truett Riley and Mila Kaye...our little family. It's amazing to think we created them - thanks, hubby. (Check out some recent pictures below of the two cuties.)
Thank you, Ted, for being such a great daddy & hubby. Happy Anniversary!! xoxo
This one just melts me:
Dang, Girl! Are you trying to make me cry?! I love you too, and everything you do for our family! We would be lost without you.
