"another year has gone byyyYYYYyy"

anyone else know that Celine Dion song? i started singing it to Brock on our anniversary and its been stuck in my head for over a week now. you could say the lyrics are pretty cheesey, and that's precisely why i love it.

i honestly cannot believe how much has happened, and how much we've learned and grown over the past, 1, 2, 3, 4 years! it seems like such a short amount of time to have done so much. most of all i can't believe how wonderful it's been.

when we were first married we made a list of our 1, 5, and 10 years goals, truly, most seemed like only dreams. i found the list in my nightstand a few weeks ago and just sat there staring for a minute. so many could be crossed off, I was amazed and so grateful for such a hard working and determined husband, who never gives me reason to doubt his commitment or abilities in reaching his goals, and inspiring me to strive to reach mine.

as each day, and month, and year, has passed I am just more in awe of this man i get to love and call mine everyday. he makes everything fun. he listens to me. he loves me, and shows it in so many ways. as i watch him with trey and claire i am so grateful for his endless patience, gentleness, kindness, silliness, and love. simply put, they adore him, and i know they have every reason to.

i love you Brock.
