The best four years....

Today is our 4 year wedding anniversary.  If you had told me on our wedding day what the next four years were going to look like, I would have laughed in your face.  Never had I imagined we would have two babies already; let alone different jobs, homes, etc.  These last four years have been the best of my life.  Thanks to this guy....

No seriously.  He's a wonderful husband, beyond wonderful at the whole dad thing, and just a great person.  He balances my crazy which is not an easy task.  We were together almost 5 years before getting married and will celebrate 9 years together this fall.  We met in college, in a public speaking class in fact, and were paired together for a group presentation by the professor.  The rest as they say, is history.

                                            


It's only been four years and I'm not going to pretend to have loads of experience in the marriage department but for us?  That time at the end of the day when both boys are asleep and we sometimes have 30 minutes, or an hour, or (when we are really lucky) two hours alone together?  That's when we reconnect.  We snuggle up on the couch, catch up on our DVR, and chat about adult stuff.  Often we are accompanied by a sweet treat or an adult beverage and it's what keeps us sane.  I hope we never lose that time together or somehow find ourselves too busy to find it. 


                                   


We have an annual tradition where we order a small cake from the bakery who made our wedding cake and have them fill and decorate it the same as our wedding cake (except it says Happy __ Anniversary).  Vanilla cake, buttercream frosting, raspberry filling.  It is AMAZING.  Here's to many, many more cakes and years together. 

Happy Anniversary honey.  Can't wait to see what lies ahead.  It's you and me against the world.
