My wonderful husband and I have been together for TWELVE years now!!! We starting dating (even though I wasn't technically allowed to "date" yet) when I was 15 and he was 14....wow, that seems like SUCH a long time ago! Just a note to any silly girls out there afraid to date a friend, thinking it might ruin your friendship if it doesn't work out...just do it! Seriously, that was one of the absolute BEST decisions I have ever made. It's amazingly awesome being married to my best friend, and I can't even imagine my life any other way! He is so wonderful and thoughtful and sweet, and he is the BEST dad I could ask for for our kids. Our wedding anniversary is coming up too (it will be 7 years on June 7th), but this anniversary is our favorite...it took a lot of commitment and determination (oh, and love) to make it all this time without ever breaking up or even having any arguments that lasted longer than a day. I feel so crazy blessed and so lucky to be married to this amazing man!

These are the roses he surprised me with this week. I don't get flowers a lot, so it was a nice surprise!
