11 years and 4 kids later

Time has a way of going so quickly, and at the same time it distorts your thoughts and memories. For example I can't image a time that I didn't know Alan. He's always been there, hasn't he?? I often times think of him hanging out with the different High School groups that I hung out with, or going places that I would go. But I have only known Alan for 11 1/2 years, so that can't be. Crazy!!

It's been wonderful to be married to a man who adores me, and loves me for who I am, even with my many faults. Here are the some best qualities that I have found in him over the last 11 years:

  • His passion for music
  • His love for finances
  • His devotion to cleanliness
  • His to-do lists
  • His sense of humor
  • His desire to make holidays special
  • His love for Jesus Christ
  • His ability to be reliable

We dropped off all 4 kids at a friends house and went to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. The wait wasn't as long as we thought it would be, the service was good, and the company was fabulous! It wasn't until we went and picked up the kids and were driving home that I realized how quiet our little date was...an added bonus! I love you, Al! Here's to another year!
