On Friday, my husband and I will celebrate our five-year wedding anniversary.
I’ve loved watching the relationship between you and Annie grow. There were bumps along the way, but she fell in love with you right alongside me.
I love that Annie still calls it our wedding.
I loved watching you become a father to a newborn.
I love how our family now feels complete.
I loved turning 40 together.
I love sharing our family vacations, even the awful ones.
But most of all, I love you.
I love that every time I look into your eyes, I still see that 23-year-old blond boy with an attitude. I love that, as cliché as it sounds, we really are best friends. I love that you call my parents Mom and Dad and love them as much as I do. I love that after nine years together, we never run out of things to talk about. I love that we still look forward to dates like giddy teenagers. I love that we both truly love being home with the kids most nights. I love that we have a history and that now we have a family.
The last five years have been hard, but I cannot imagine weathering them with anyone but you.
Happy Anniversary, Mike.
I love you.

Oh my gosh, this was so beautiful! And we have a lot more in common… my hubby is adopting my 9 year old. She has been without a "dad" since she was 6 months. My husband came into her life when she was 6 years old and has called her "his little girl" ever since. Thank you for sharing and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!
