So today is Jer and I's 8th wedding anniversary. Quite frankly it does NOT feel like eight years. Though I look in the mirror and know that time has definitely passed, I'm so glad that our relationship is just as strong and the day we got married... no, I'm wrong. It's a whole lot stronger!I honestly could never ask for a better guy to be my soul mate, because honestly, that is what he is. I can't imagine having a better friend or a better husband .... oh, or of course a better father for my kids. That is an important one.
I miss him every day he goes to work and always look forward to the time when he comes home again, even if the only thing we are doing is sitting next to each other on our computers. The company is awesome. I can't imagine life without him.
I know when we first got married that people thought we were a little nuts. Yes, we were young and the courtship was short, but I know through experience that when you meet the person who you are supposed to be with sometimes you just know. I'm so glad I knew and I'm so glad he knew and was willing to work towards that end... he did ask me to marry him three times before I said yes (what can I say, we are both stubborn!).
As I watch other people and how their marriages work, I'm constantly reminded of the awesome man that I get to call mine. We are so similar in so many ways, we rarely fight (though often disagree) and usually the fights are caused by mere differences in the definitions of words and the confusion as to what is causing our communication to not quite be right. I'm so glad that I have never been called names, or told that I am not so smart. I'm SO glad that when we do fight we still keep in mind those things that would be going too far and wouldn't touch them with a 50 foot pole even if we are severely frustrated with the other person.
Oh how I'm grateful for that man. Oh how I'm grateful we found each other. And oh how grateful I am to have someone I could truly trust with anything.
I love you Jer. You are the other half of my soul.

Happy Anniversary! Wow, you WERE young when you got married! I've been married eight years, and I'm a few years older than you! I think Jer is really funny. I loved it when he showed everyone your new minivan and did the opera song thingey when he opened the door with the key fob. So funny.
Yay! I'm happy he's my brother-in-law!
YAY for you guys! You're so perfect for each other, and so cute together.
So sweet. Congratulations on eight years! =)
Happy anniversary (two days later). I like the pic!
