Fourteen Years.

My sophomore year of high school there was a tall, lanky guy that sat behind me in Biology class.  I didn't know him, but it didn't take long before just about everyone was telling me that he "liked" me.  I had no idea who this tall basketball player was, but it wasn't long before I found out he was the most caring and the funniest person I have ever met.

Then, 7 years ago, on this day, I found an engagement ring in a pumpkin I was carving and my future husband on one knee.

Austin, every day I love you more. I love the way you love me when I am not so pleasant to you. I love the way you tell me that I'm being ridiculous when I do something dumb. I love the way you can make me smile even when I'm in the worst of moods. I love the way you sit and read books to Brady and Lola until the bookshelf is empty, and have different voices for each character in every book. I love your salt and pepper hair. I love the way Brady looks up to you and wants to be just like his daddy and how Lola's whole face lights up when she sees you. I love how you work so hard to make sure your family is taken care of. I love that God brought us together.

I love you, babe. I look forward to many more years of "dating".

Xoxo,
