Six Years.

Our anniversary typically gets trumped by a certain little persons birthday. {April 17.}

And that's ok. We love celebrating him, we do.

But because he wouldn't be here without the celebration of us, today, I'm celebrating and congratulating us.

April 17, 2004.

You don't have to take my word for it but statistically speaking a marriage like ours is beating the odds.

Some say a marriage like ours was/is destined to fail.

You have to know, a divorced father marrying a young never married woman, adding in more children, the numbers certainly aren't in our favor.

They never have been.

But we have risen to the challenge, each and every single day.

Six very full years have been ours.

And we aren't anywhere near over anytime soon.

Make that ever.

We are committed to each other and this family. Forever.

More in love and happy to be married to J than the day I said I do.

Happy Anniversary to us! I love you, J!

True love stories never have endings. ~Richard Bach
