Fourteen

To my favorite boy,

I’m not sure what I can say today that I haven’t already said in the last fourteen years.

Thank you for being persistent nineteen years ago when I was too young to know how perfect you were. Thank you for teaching me to drive on the interstate and to pump my own gas. Thank for you spending countless nights in the printmaking studio when I was panicking about advanced critique and for carrying my backpack the 10+ miles out of the Grand Canyon when I didn’t think I could make it. Thank you for insisting we get married a year early, for indulging every silly wedding request I made and for taking such good care of me in those early days. Thank you for renovating the same two houses over and over again. Thank for holding my hand every time the pregnancy tests said no and again when we finally brought our first baby girl home. Thank you for saying yes to sleeping puppies under our sheets and every exciting trip we couldn’t afford. Thank you for holding me when we said goodbye to two tiny babies, for encouraging me when I thought for sure we were done and for cheering me on when we finally welcomed our second baby girl to the world. Thank you for knowing when I need to fight and when I need to sleep and when I need to just start over.

You have been my biggest encourager, my levelest head and the best blog post editor ever. I cannot imagine living in this house, enjoying this life, or raising these beautiful babies without you by my side. Every time I tell you that I love you the best and the biggest, I mean it. You are the most loved boy in all the land.

What do you say we aim for fourteen more years and another fourteen after that?

Because no anniversary post is complete without a walk down memory lane, here are a few more of my favorites!

I know it’s Wardrobe Wednesday, but I couldn’t let today pass without celebrating my favorite guy. You can visit Jennifer to read something style-related and I’m including the linky below in case you want to link up. I’ll be back with a new WW post next week! xoxo
