9 years!

Mike and I just finished our 9th year married. It's so funny to look back over the years and see how far we've come. The things we used to bicker about, certain this was a battle that needed to be settled, seem so unimportant when looking back through our more mature eyes. I am so proud of us and how we've learned to trust each other, work together, support and stick up for each other when the need arises. In the almost ten years that we've been married, Mike has helped me take big steps towards the wife and mother that I want to be. He always has my back even when standing up for me pushes his own back against a wall. He is the best father I could ever imagine for our children. When our kids look at us, I hope they'll see a strong example of what marriage can be and I pray every day that our marriage only grows stronger. I love you, Mike!

Here's what arrived at our door step on our anniversary.


My mom stayed with Mackenzie and Ellie later in the week so that Mike and I could have dinner out! Mackenzie was a breeze, it was Ellie that ended up in puppy time out ( aka her crate) . A wise decision on mom's part.
