Happy Anniversary! -- #8

10 things I love about KJ and our relationship together...


1. KJ is an amazing husband and father. I always knew I loved him but, never really knew how much until I saw him as a Daddy. He is wonderful! Gracie and Jackson are very lucky.


2. Our personalities compliment each other well. KJ is a very outgoing, personable person. I am always amazed at the way he can walk into any social situation and instantly feel comfortable and make others around him feel comfortable......most importantly,me. I, on other hand, have more of a reserved, shy personality. It takes me some time to warm up. So,together = perfect combination.



3. He works so hard everyday to provide for us and take care of our family. His commute is very long 3 days out of the week. I tend to really feel for him but, he is quick to remind me that he doesn't mind and wouldn't have it any other way.



4. He can find the humor in anything, and when I say anything, I really mean anything.



5. He always makes me feel special and is very good at keeping things in perspective when it comes to our family.



6. We usually know exactly what the other is thinking especially, when we are out with other people. I can just glance at him and he gives me a quick wink or small smile and I just know.



7. We have very different tastes when it comes to food, clothing, decorating, restaurants. But, with time, we have learned each other's likes and dislikes and compromise well when making decisions.....usually, meeting in the middle. This keeps things interesting. What fun would it be if we agreed on everything?



8. I love how most of our best family times are spent together at home.


9. I love how KJ looks at Grace. He tells me all the time that one of his most favorite things to do is watch her fall asleep.


10. I love how far we've come .....(some would call it "growing up" together)....since we first started dating. I look back at those college days and know we never imagined life we lead us here in such a short time.

So to you, my sweet husband, I wish a very Happy Anniversary! Can you believe where God and circumstance have led us? I can't imagine it any other way or with anyone else. This past year has brought us many surprises, ups, downs, twists and turns but, we take it all with a grain of salt and are sure to remember all the wonderful things we are thankful for. I can't wait until next year when we will celebrate this day as a family of four. XOXOXOXO!
