Happy Anniversary!

Today makes SIX years of marriage to my best friend and love of my life!

This guy and I?  Have been through life together.  And I do mean Life.  From the age of 15, we’ve grown up together, graduated college, got married, moved 3 times and had two children in our six short years.  We’ve been through the ups and downs, highs and lows, deaths and weddings and births.  We’ve done infertility, miscarriage, complicated pregnancy and NICU baby.  Check, check and check.  Our marriage has been put to the test, and we have persevered.  He is truly my best friend and I am so thankful for him.

July 1999.  Both 15 years old.

He is such a hard worker to provide for our family.  He has a terrible shift and drives a long way each day in order to provide and not move me away from my family.  He is an amazing daddy to our girls.  He’s smoking hot.  More so now than at age 15. HAHA! 


I am so very thankful God put us together.  I love him with my whole heart and would be lost without him!  I love you baby!

Here’s to MANY more!!

The day we brought her home

Today marked the 4 year anniversary of bringing our first baby home from her 17 day stay in the NICU.  I know I blog about this every year, but honestly, this day was better than her actual birth day.  Every year, I feel the need to celebrate her on this day.  Her NICU stay was so scary and every day was full of uncertainties, but my girl?  Is a survivor and a true fighter!  It was a rough first year, but every day was worth it.  she is nothing short of amazing.  I could fall to me knees and praise and thank God every day for allowing her to stay on earth with me, but it would never be enough.  We are truly blessed with this little lady in our lives.

My first lady who made life worth living…


The day we brought her home we went to Sapporo’s (sushi restaurant) to celebrate, so that is what has become tradition to do every year. So much fun and yummy food!


Getting a picture of her requires lots of bribery!


Thank you Lord for this special little girl!

We’ve reached double digits! THIRTEEN YEARS!

Today marks 13, (THIRTEEN, DO YOU HEAR ME?) years that Dave and I have been together.
It was after school had dismissed.  We were in the gym, him waiting to go to track practice and me softball practice, and the flirting was relentless.  We were just kids.  Freshman in high school who had major crushes on each other! HA!  We got a moment away from friends and he nervously asked me to be his girlfriend.  I was so embarrassed (the maturity factor wasn’t quite there! LOL) and I couldn’t say anything but laugh.  Then I started ranting about how I “knew” he was going to do this, blah blah blah.  He stopped me mid sentence and said “Well??”
I followed up with a big fat YES! and the rest is history.


“Ordinary?  No, I really don’t think so. Not a love this true.
Common destiny, we were meant to be, Me and You!

Like a perfect scene, from a movie screen, were a dream come true.
Suited perfectly, for eternity, Me and You!

Every day, I need you even more.  And the night time too. 
There’s no way I could ever let you go, even if I wanted to.

Every day I live, I try my best to give, all I have to you.
I thank the stars above, that we share this love, Me and You.

Every day, I need you even more.  And the night time too.
There’s no way I could ever let you go, even if I wanted to.

Ordinary? No, I really don’t think so…
Just a precious few ever make it last and get as lucky as
Me and You


David Huff, I am so so in love with you. You are my best friend and my soul mate.  There is no one in this world I would rather go through the seasons of life with.  Forever and Ever.
I am so blessed and my heart is full.  I have found the one whom my heart loves.
