13 is the magic number!

Dear Hubby,

Happy Anniversary!

13 years ago today I was getting ready for our wedding that was beginning at 11am. I remember feeling nervous and scared. I wasn't nervous or scared about marrying you, I was feeling nervous and scared about walking down the aisle in front of all of those people. What if I tripped? What if my dress ripped?

At the young age of 23 I was never more sure of anything. I knew that I wanted to marry you and I knew that I wanted to share my life with you and the family that we were going to create but at that moment in the morning I kept worrying about the actual wedding. All I wanted to do was see you and hold your hand and feel safe with you standing beside me. Together I knew we could withstand anything.

13 years later I still feel the same way. You are my rock. You are the first person I want to talk to in the morning and the last person I want to talk to at night. Your smile and your hugs make everything right in the world. I still, all these years later know there isn't anything we can't accomplish as long as we do it together. We are a team. My life is so much more rewarding with you by my side.

I see you with our children and it makes me love you even more. You make me a better mom and you make me a better person. Thank you for loving me, being my best friend and thank you for being you. I wouldn't have it any other way.

"It had to be you, wonderful you...it had to be you...."

I love you.
Love, J

We just celebrated our 15 year anniversary and I was in Branson with my girlfriends and he was home with the flu. Talk about unsentimental! LOL. Still -- I love him! Really, I do.
