Our SEVEN Year Anniversary!!!!


Today seven years ago I made the most amazing decision of my life and married my sweet husband!  In honor of our seven years of married bliss, I thought I would do a list of the seven things I love most about our marriage!

1.I love that we compliment each other well... I'm the overreactor and he is the underreactor... together we meet somewhere in the middle... usually more on his side since I overreact more than he underreacts!

2. I love that in all of the years I've been cooking for us, he has never not eaten something I've cooked.  I have refused to eat several of the meals I've made, but not him!  I love that he isn't too picky and that he is actually much more of a health nut than I am!  It makes it fun to cook for him!

3. I love that we can have just as much fun staying in eating take out while watching tv on the couch as we do going out on the town.

4. I love that when it is just the two of us we still act incredibly stupid together.

5. I love that he can put me in my place and be the head of the household even if sometimes in the moment I'm not a particularly big fan of it.  I don't know if I would really respect him if I always got my way!

6. I love that we both LOVE our sleep and even though I've become more of a night owl since having kids, we both still go to bed at the same time and enjoy an infrequent nap here and there.

7. I love that we both put our marriage above our kids even though admittedly that is more difficult at certain times than others.  I am so grateful that Devin greets me with three kids hanging on his legs begging for attention as soon as he walks in the door.  I am thankful that we know God intended for us to put Him first, our marriage second, and our kids third and understand what a powerful example that is to our kids.  I'm so appreicative for date nights and our "let's put the kids to bed early" nights so that we have a chance to spend some extra time together just the two of us.

So thankful that God brought us together and that we've had such an amazing seven years!
