Hey friends,
Thanks again for checking back into my little slice of the internet so often...
Today my husband and I have been married 10 years! It feels like forever and just a couple of years all at the same time. How is that possible...? Well I wanted to let my husband know exactly what I think of him and give you a peak at what he really means to my kids and I at the same time.
Before we get there I wanted to let you in on our convo from last night... I asked if he wanted to go eat for our anniversary and he said sure. I then secured childcare for all three kids and asked where he wanted to eat. He has stomach issues that we have yet to figure out and I am currently breastfeeding a baby that has a dairy allergy... so we laughed about how there isn't anything we can both eat easily without spending a fortune or driving too far and he proceeded to tell me that, "If we hadn't breeded ourselves into poverty that we could go anywhere we wanted, Hell we could be flying somewhere to eat if we wanted." That's my husband for you... straight to the point, no sugar coating necessary. He makes me laugh and that's half of why I stick around. haha..it's more than that though. Read on...
17 years together, 10 years of marriage and three kids later. There are countless things to be thankful for in you but your love, loyalty and commitment to me, our kids and this life, even though we are both pretty sure you were meant to be a hermit living alone in a cabin in the Blue Ridge mountains...but these, your truest qualities are what I thank God for every day! Your assurance in yourself and us makes me feel safe and lucky to have found you. You are the exact opposite of what's found in our world today. Thank God! You are a breath of fresh air and a slice of the simple life of yesterday that doesn't exist anymore. Teaching our kids chess and John Denver songs; being hard on them, never letting them win for the sake of happiness and telling them you love them is your way of trying to mold them into the best they can be. These are the reasons I love you. You never lie, even when it hurts. You don't try to keep up with the Jones and you have pride in what you care about most, not in what people think of you. What people think of you is what you think the least of in this world, at times to your own detriment. But you are true to yourself more then anyone I have ever known. This makes you my compass and my guide. And I would be lost without you! Even though you frustrate me beyond words a lot of the time I still cannot fathom my life, our life, any differently. Because of you our kids and I have the best shot at navigating this life without getting lost and being proud of who we are and being Bradfords. I love you Babe.
