Thirteen years ago today I married the best man in the world. We've been so busy this week that today snuck up on us. We both forgot to wish each other a Happy Anniversary until right before he left with the boys for a fun morning of hockey with two other families. With Little Dear gone with them, and the two littlest girls at a friends house, I am left to ponder the stillness.

Never fear, my to-do list is a mile long so I will not be sad or lonely. :)

I am just so very grateful for this life. I am blessed and I am so aware of that. I am constantly amazed at how God can take two people and mold them in such a way that as they grow in age, they grow closer together. I've never felt so close to Andrew as I do today. The life we have built and continue to share is a full one. It can be insanely crazy and make me want to rip my hair out, but there is woven in between a joy and contentment I never thought imaginable.

It is too great a gift for this little soul. I am truly humbled by what has been entrusted to me.

May God continue to guard and guide us...

:)
