He...

He is my best friend

He is the best father I know

He is our provider

He is still the one I would choose to marry all over again.

He is the love of my life.

He is my happily ever after.

10 years ago today I married the best man I know.

It hasn't always been easy, but it's always been worth it.

Happy 10 Year Anniversary to the love of my life!

I'm tired of pictures of my kids....

aren't you?

I'm gonna turn on my narcissistic funk and upload a picture of my adorable husband and I.

Okay- granted we were at Chuck E. Cheese (totally kid centric place), but STILL! This post is going to contain NO pictures of my kids. Actually, I'm not even going to mention them again.


Look at these little lovebirds...

I feel like maybe I should have Photoshopped away the dark bags under my eyes. But, then again, I am 38+ weeks pregnant, for goodness sake- and, well, that just wouldn't be authentic. And I'll about living an authentic life.

So- there you have it. Me and my man. Dark circles and all.

The End.

(See how short my posts are when I don't talk about my kids? Perhaps I should try this more often.)

when two became one...

1... the number of dates it took me to be "crazy" about him!

3... the number of days before I realized He was "The One"

7... the number of days before we exchanged "I love you's"

6... the number of weeks from our first date, to the day we became engaged

137... the number of "up in arms" and "whoa is me" phone calls and emails I received from my sister and mother

0... the number of reservations I, personally, had about marrying him

6... the number of months from our engagement to our wedding day

9... the number of years I've been happily married to the man of my dreams, my very best friend, the father of my children... the absolute LOVE OF MY LIFE!

And it begins...



I will never forget this moment. So many tears. So much emotion!



Two become one...



The Happy Couple!

i love this man...

A decade ago, when my love for this man was brand new and "fresh" I will never forget turning to him as we drove in the car on one of our fabulous dates during those early months and making him promise me that the love that we felt for each other- at that moment, as I squeezed his hand for dear life- would never change. He looked back at me and replied, "I promise! It will never get old!"

But the thing is- it has changed. It has grown roots. Deepend. Strengthened. What started as such intense affection and passion for one another has grown into something so much more. In that moment, nearly a decade ago, I had no idea what true married love could inspire. Such deep respect. Incredible security. And a bond that goes beyond what words can describe.

He has surpased any expectation of what I had hoped and dreamed for as a little girl.

He is the love of my life!

I love this man...
