Life is Beautiful

Motherhood, Sewing, Family

We’ve been married for 6 years!

~ Etc.

Even though we’ve postponed our 6th anniversary date to next week(the girls really want to go see Epic and they have a birthday party later tonight that they’re so excited about), tomorrow marks our 6th wedding anniversary!  I thought it’d be fun to look back on our wedding pictures, shall we?
I know it’s true love because:
-We were on a family walk and I was holding the dog’s leash which means whoever is walking the dog is in charge of picking up his poo in our rule, and right when we were walking past the nicest house in the neighborhood with the best yard, our dog pooped right in the middle of their front yard.  And it wasn’t just solid poop that’s easy to pick up either, it was green, watery diarrhea, which you can’t just “pick up”.  I looked at Jay and made a face like oh crap, I don’t wanna clean that up! and that’s all it took for him to walk back home to get a bucket of water and cleaning supplies to clean it for me.  Would I have done the same for him?  Heck no, I would’ve been like, “Sucka!  Good luck cleaning that!” and laughed while watching him clean it up and he very well knows that, but did it for me anyway.   
-He calls or texts me every few hours to see how I’m doing, just to hear my voice, to tell me he loves me and misses me and is thinking about me.
-He knows my every flaw, seen me at my ugliest, worst moments, have seen all my annoying, gross, or unflattering habits, watched me vomit, and other bodily functions, and yet he still loves me and tells me there’s not one thing he would change about my character, personality or traits.  The only thing he would change is if I was more clean(which I’m thinking is definitely a part of my character, personality or trait haha) but I’m just glad he thinks that because there are many things I would change about myself!  It’s a miracle he is still madly in love with me after all that.  It truly is, it boggles my mind.
-When he comes home from work and dinner is not made because I wasn’t feeling well, he doesn’t complain one bit but goes to the kitchen to make a gourmet dinner for our family such as baked salmon, rice, and vegetables.  He then washes all the dishes and cleans up the kitchen and does the whole bedtime ritual all by himself and bathes the girls, feeds them vitamins, gets them their milk cups, helps change into their pajamas, brushes their teeth, reads them books, says a family prayer, tells them a story, sings to them, gives them kisses, cuddles for a bit and tucks them in.  The only part I participate in is saying the family prayer.  He’s been doing it all on his own ever since my pregnancy, but even before I was pregnant, he would bathe them, and then we would both do the rest of the bedtime ritual together.  
-Before, when we got in a fight, I would stay mad at him and give him the silence for at least an hour, if not half the day, but now when we get in a fight, the length of time I stay mad at him is very very short because I realize it’s not worth it and I start missing him and being around him.  He is such a fun guy to be around, and if you’re not around him, you’re missing out!
-When we were dating, and I was hanging out at his house in the winter time, 10 minutes before I had to go home, he would go outside and start my car engine and turn on the heater so it’d be warm when I got in the car.  If there was snow outside, he carried me out to the car so I wouldn’t have to step in the snow at all or get my shoes wet.  One time I was at work and when I was done with my shift, I noticed I had brand new windshield wipers that he replaced because he noticed it wasn’t wiping the window good.  Even when we weren’t even dating(or even close to dating), he would make me a homemade lunch and drop it off for me at my work.  He was incredibly thoughtful and sweet and he continues to do sweet things like this for me.  He still turns on the car engine and the heater in the winter time before he leaves to work on days I have to drop the kids off at school.  When I’m leaning against the couch and watching t.v on the floor, he’ll grab cushions and align it behind my back to make sure my back is supported.  If I’m lying on my stomach and using the computer on the floor, he would put a cushion below my elbows so I don’t get carpet burn and to make sure I’m comfortable.
There are so many other things he does that lets me know he loves me, but do you see how I cannot be crazy in love with a guy like this?  It’s impossible!  I know I am married to one incredible guy.
Happy anniversary Jay.   I would marry you a million times over.

    Love your pictures. And I appreciate that you are always dressed beautifully but modestly! Absolutely gorgeous.
    And I love the part about fighting…I was so that way and now I can't stay mad him for even half an hour! I miss him too much. =) Love your story.

    Happy Anniversary! Your wedding photos are absolutely beautiful… and you're stunning in them (mind you, you always look stunning). Your husband sounds like a man in a million. I know, because I have one too. We celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary next month! We've been together 21 years (we were pretty young!) – how time flies 😉
