It is amazing how fast life really does pass you by! Brian and I have been married 11 years today and I can still remember how I felt the day he proposed and the day we were married. We started our life a little backwards, but managed to get right on track once we did get started; 3 kids, a mortgage, some car payments, braces, carpooling, PTA, and now the first one of to college. I don't know where I thought we would be looking ahead 11 years, but I do know that I love Brian more today than I did 11 years ago. He is a wonderful husband, so supportive and kind that I sometimes wonder if I even deserve him (I always decide that I do, he's the lucky one, right :); he is an amazing dad to my (our) children and I love that he teaches them about love and respect between parents; I love that our daughter has learned how men should treat her and I love that our boys have learned how to treat their wife or girlfriend when the time comes from their dad. I know that even when it gets hard (and it does) that he will be there to help pick up the pieces; I know that marriage is hard work and that it takes two people everyday to keep it going, even though one person may carry the other from time to time; I know that I want to grow old with him and even dream of renting beach cottages so that our grown children and our grandchildren (not any time soon) will be able to come visit us.

I am blessed to have married this man 11 years ago and look forward to many more.

Happy Anniversary Honey, I love you!
