Still in Love

Friday was our 5th wedding anniversary. Five years we've been married, and 7.5 years since we've been together. Seems like just yesterday that Loren and I met, but it's been 8 years since we first started chatting with each other online. I love my husband. He is my soul mate, my partner, my best friend. I can tell him anything. Including stuff he really would rather I didn't share but I do anyway. He supports my dreams. Even if I am a bit wishy-washy and easily sidetracked. He makes me laugh. Even when I don't feel like it or want to. He is a great dad and I love watching him play with our boys. We make beautiful babies and I would make tons of them with him if he would let me. We are a team. We're always there for each other and we both want what's best for each other and for our family as a whole. Things have been tough at times but we've been able to get through them together. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with this man!


I think the lyrics to the first song we danced to on our wedding day still sums it all up the best:

When You Say Nothing At All

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

Justin is (Terrible) Two

Justin turned two on Thursday, October 22, 2009. My silly little Monkey-man has always been a sweetie and pretty laid back, but he is definitely two. He's got a little bit of an attitude now and has a definite opinion and temper about things. He's also a bit of a klutz and a daredevil (two things that should probably never mix) and has a number of bruises and bumps to show for it, most on his head. I have a feeling he'll be the first kid to send us to the ER.


Justin is sort of counting to 10- he counts them 1, 2, 6, 7, 8. And he is copying his brother saying his ABCs- A, B, C, D, E, F, G, a, a, a, a, T, U, V. It's so cute!
Happy Birthday (a little late) Monkey-Man!
