So what do you say about 6 years together……

I’ve thought a lot about what I wanted to say about our anniversary and it all seems so inadequate to describe what our life together is like, or maybe I should say our life together and apart since we are apart as much as we are together. Either way, it’s been a very interesting life for us.

We went from oh so innocent with no clue of the things we would go though…

 

To a little older and a lot wiser….

Our 5th Anniversary

And at Disney in December

 

We’ve changed a lot. Boy have we changed. We we so young and still had so much growing up to do, but we’ve beat a lot of statistics already. Not only did we get married young we’ve stayed married though 2 years of deployments and months of other Army dictated separations. Unfortunately in this lifestyle that’s the exception and not the rule. We grew together, we worked hard to build our relationship during the times apart. We learned what was worth arguing about and what was best to let roll. We started out screaming at each other while working on the simplest project to building beautiful furniture together without a single argument much less a raise voice. Maybe we would have reached that point sooner if we had been together all of the last 6 years but I don’t think so. When you are together all the time it’s easy to start taking everything for granted. We know how important out time together is because of our time apart. We cherish the time we spend working together in the garage or just sitting together in the same room.

I am so lucky to have a fantastic husband who puts me first, who puts US, puts our marriage first in his life. I’m so so lucky. I have a husband who does the dishes and cleans house and takes care of me, he always takes care of me. I have never had to question his love for me or if he will always be there for me. I know without doubt that he is my other half. 

So Happy Anniversary Babe. Hopefully we’ll break tradition and spend number 8 together!

Our first anniversary.
