Our (belated) 6th anniversary

I have said it a lot lately, but I am behind on life. Oh, well. This is my blog and I am allowed to write about whatever/whenver, right?

 Our anniversary was December 18th & we always make time for at least dinner out w/out the girls. This year, we went to Lansing. I came home that night and pulled out a picture from our wedding and scanned it. It is amazing how fast time has gone by.

In the past six years we have:

-had one truck, one car, two vans & 1 SUV that we have now

-not moved, even though we are praying someone will buy our house so we can

-had two amazing, gorgeous, healthy babies

-mourned the loss of one grandmother, one grandfather and two animals

-gone to Florida, Canada, New York & many parts of Michigan for vacation

-been struck by lightning. Not many can say that, right?   

-weathered the ups and downs of marriage, job stress/loss & daily life

-adopted an adorable pug

There are so many other things to add to this list, but these were the first ones that came to my head.

I am one lucky gal to have a guy like Jade. I don't talk about just him too often, but he is amazing. I love him as a husband, daddy & my best friend. I love him for the way he loves me. I love him for always doing random acts of kindness such as: driving to the store on Sunday to pick me up a newspaper. I love him for being the protective guy he is. I love him for putting up with me everyday. I love him for his patience he shows to the girls. I love him for starting my car up when I am leaving to go somewhere AND remembering to turn on the seat warmers. I love him for his hard work & good work ethics. I love him for the provider that he is. I love him for being as OCD as I am. Heck, the guy even scrubs out the microwave when something blows up! I just love him.
