5 yrs.

Wow! Five years ago I married the most genuine, caring man I have ever met. In five years time alot of things have changed in our life, but I am still completely head over heels in love with that man! He was always a wonderful person, and then a great husband, but watching him be a daddy is amazing. Seeing his face the first time he held our oldest daughter trying to fight back tears, but still letting one slip out as he stared at this beautiful child we made together. Watching him walk the halls with her at night when she couldn't be consoled, they spent many nights together that way. Laughing as he fumbled with diapers, waiting too long until she peed on him. Seeing the pride in his face the first time she said "dada". Having him holding my hand as I laid on the operating table at the birth of our second daughter. Seeing him bravely look over the curtain as he doctor pulled out our baby girl. Seeing that same tear slip down his cheek when he looked at her. Laughing and crying together over the stress and fun and complete madness of raising four kids. Having him be this amazing pillar of strength as our baby girl went through open heart surgery. He was just as scared as I was, but he held it together while I was falling apart. Looking back on this life we have made brings about every emotion, but most of all just pure HAPPINESS!
