Yesterday, May 13th was our 13th wedding anniversary. Yup that was two 13s this year. I would have to say that 13 is a lucky number in my book.
The first time I saw Mike was in a video store he was working at. When I saw him, my heart leapt, it had never leapt this way before, and I knew! I just knew! I wasn't sure what I knew, but I knew. I will never forget the next few thoughts going through my head, "Wow he is really cute. But he's not my type!" We exchanged a few words, and had a flirtatious moment and I was ever so briefly floating on air, THEN my big scary, long hair, loser boyfriend walked up, and I tumbled back to reality. As I walked out of the video store with "my type" I had an "AH HA" moment! "My type" was all wrong for me. That cute dude with the smile in the video store... He was "the one", even though I didn't know what "the one" meant, he was it... I immediatly called my best friend Nicole and said "Wow, I just met the most amazing guy!" She was shocked! She said, "I've never heard you talk about a guy like this before!" Yep something was different about this guy.
I would be lying if I told you it has been perfect bliss. But, it has been passionate, it has been heart break, it has been work, it has been heavenly, it has been comfortable, it has been exciting, it has been scary, it has been fun, it has been amazing and it has been worth every moment. I am so grateful to share this life with a man such as my husband. You will never meet a more devoted father. He takes care of me and our children in ways I can never fully understand or thank him enough for. Neither of us are perfect, but we are perfect for each other!

I love that! Congratulations on 13 years! I'm sure glad you two ended up together.
That is so sweet! I love it! And I am so impressed at the totally awesome birthday party. Can you be in charge of throwing my kids' parties when they get older? For Avery's this summer we are going to have a "girl party" with her and Sydney and one other friend. I can't imagine having as many 8 yr olds over as you did!! You win the Funnest Mom Award for the year!
Kristen was right. This post made me cry too. I'm so glad you married my brother!
Wow, I somehow missed the wedding photo the first time around (I think I was mystified by the boys' colored hair). So I just wanted to comment (again) on how cute the two of you are.
