Jaime pointed out in the comments on my 500th post (which I posted about an hour ago) that today is also our anniversary. One of the reasons for biting the bullet on the 500th post is to get an anniversary post up. 🙂
So today marks nine years of married life together for us. It’s been a wonderful ride for us so far and we look forward to many more in the future. I’ve now spent 28% of my life married to Jaime and another 11% dating. That’s almost 40% of our life together. It’s amazing to think about.
There are so many things I’m thankful for about Jaime that they are too numerous to go into here. Just a small sampling of those include:
- She understands me (and still likes me!).
- She moved to Texas with me when it meant seeing our family only a couple times a year at best.
- She laughs and jokes with me.
- She makes me a better person.
- She encourages me.
- She sacrifices for me.
- She gave up her teaching career to follow me to Buffalo, where we weren’t able to find a teaching position.
- She gives her all to being a great Mom to Addison.
- She walks with me in ministry.
- She helps me keep my priorities straight.
I could keep going on, but I won’t. It’s enough to say that I’m so thankful to God for giving me Jaime. What a wonderful blessing she has been to me and so many others over her lifetime. Addison and I are better for having Jaime as Mom and Wife.
Oh yeah. You’re one blessed guy. And so is she.
Cracks me up that even in your anniversary you are all mathimatical! Congrats to you both! May each year grow sweeter!
Awesome!!! Happy Anniversary and many more blessings and years to come!!! Love ya both.
