a decade...

of wedded bliss.

This year was as hard as our first year (Did I mention our 1st year was HARD!?). We fell apart, picked the pieces back up, and some how came out of it more in love and stronger.

This is the year that I figured out why I married Paul.

Paul loves, loves, loves me, and is probably the most loyal person you will ever meet. Paul is the only one in this world that really looks out for me, his #1. I am really sensitive, and Paul understands. Paul will go to the mall, and never miss looking at the D&B purses to update me on what is new. Paul is okay with going and doing girly stuff with me. What is there not to love, right? We have played hundreds of rounds of mini golf.

We have traveled to multiple states.

We have gone on so many walks, you can't count.

We have moved 4 times.

We have done many duets. We have our favorite.

We have been poor, very poor!

We have gone to the theater to see hundreds of movies.

We have cried together.

We have taken thousands of pictures of us!

We brought Van into this world together.

We have fought.

We have made up.

We haven't gone to enough concerts, but have eaten out too much!

We started a business, but Paul needs all the credit for this.

We conquered depression, and I still haven't figured out weight loss. =)

I paint Paul's toe nails, and Paul massages my dry feet.

Paul pumps my gas for me almost every single time, and I clean his toilet.

Paul is my protector, my comforter, my BEST friend.

I tear up just writing this. Seriously. I am so in love with him.

This is the song I am listening to while I sit and right this...

Til I Said It To You

Sometimes I said it when I really didn't mean it

Just to throw away a promise I knew wasn't true

It meant a little less to me everytime I did it

But I never said I love you from the heart

'Til I said it to you

You made me tell you the truth

And that truth was a total revelation

I see I have it in me

Now I can speak without any hesitation

I love you comes so freely

For the first time I believe me.

Once upon a time I was engaged to another boy. I was making bad choices, because I had little to no guidance. Paul found me, literally. He was a missionary. He was my saving grace. I would not be where I am at today without him. I have achieved so much, because he believes in me. He believes in US!

I can't wait for the next decade, because something tells me that it's goin' to be good. Another child, maybe even two. ;) Many more vacations, walks, duets, and movies!

Paul, I will go anywhere, as long as it's with you! I am madlly in love!
