A tribute to my one and only.
Darling, we just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversay the other day. Gosh, 5 years. What can I say except they've been the sweetest, funniest, most secure 5 years of my life. Even in the face of all the pain outside our marriage you've held me up, you've held me tight, you've lifted my spirits, you've given me my reasons to live (you and our boys), and you've done it with humor, compassion, and true, deep, pure love.
The deepest love I feel for you…the undying devotion, admiration, and passion I feel for you is only matched by the love I have for you as the Father of my children.
I never knew the depth of love I felt the day we met our first born son together. The love for you. The love for this creature we made together out of our love. The moment you held your son for the first time, the tears of joy you shed, the look of awe in your face over this little baby and your wife…it all made me fall deeper in love with you!
You're the man I always hoped my children would have for their Father. The silly, fun, serious, adoring Father you are. Watching you kiss, coo, baby talk, and offer sweet little nick names for our boys melts me. You're the Father I never knew for myself, the Father I always hoped for my kids, and the Father that you can be proud to be.
Everything I hold dearest to me is in you and the boys you gave me. I'll love you forever, I'll laugh with you forever, I'll happily grow old with you & enjoy all the seasons of our lives together.
**this song is dedicated to you…with love.

Happy Anniversary!
The pictures are just too precious…shoot, the whole post is just too precious!! You guys are so adorable!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
I peek in from time to time but my life has been crazy so I haven't been commenting much. I had to this time though. I do this too… For his birthdays and our anniversary. I loved this. What a beautiful tribute! Happy anniversary.
Aww, you guys are just too sweet! I can barely remember when we used to write things like that, lol. Now we just look at each other and say "Wow, we've survived another year. Think we'll both live through the next?" hehe Not because we fight, we rarely do, but because kids and life wear us out!
Happy Anniversary – I can sense in your post that you are sooooo much in love. That's awesome!
That was just to precious! Happy Anniversary!
How sweet and awesome of you to write such a sweet post! Yes men can be PITA sometimes but when we really sit down to think about it they rock our worlds.
I teared up when I read this post! You have expressed the exact same way that I feel about my hubby. The part where you mention that he is the father you never knew yourself, well, I feel the same about my hubby too.
I don't know who my real dad is because he left when my mom told him she was pregnant. She ended up marrying another guy who was emotionally and sometimes physically abusive. He was extremely jealous and controlling, and my mom eventually divorced him when I was 16. After that, my siblings and I never heard from him again. She eventually remarried, but by that time, I had moved out on my own because I just couldn't stand living at home anymore.
I ended up in a bad relationship with a guy 10 years older than me, and eventually had my daughter. He didn't hold her, take care of her, play with her, nothing. She actually screamed her head off if I he was around her. He was never at home, never at work, and would come in at 1, 2, 3, 4 in the morning. He would leave shortly after he was awake, and I was so relieved. He yelled and screamed all the time, and I finally left him.
Anyway, fast forward and I met my hubby and he took my daughter and I under his wing. He cherished my little girl (who was only 1 year and 2 months old at the time) and treated her like she was his own. He was, and is, everything that I've always longed for in a father, and I am so incredibly happy that my kids have someone like him in their lives, and that they don't have to grow up the way I did.
Sorry for the long post, but it just touched me so
WOW – the love you have is soo amazing – treasure it!
Congrats Nell!
Nell that's so wonderful… but I'm disappointed. I thought we were going to hear YOU sing.
That was beautiful Nell – congratulations to the both of you and to many, many, more happy years ahead. It only gets better when you're with the one you're meant to be with.
I know it just hit me the other day that my husband now knows me better than any one of my closest friends. When you first get together that ofcourse isn't necessarily the case – you fall in love with someone new, but you and your best girlfriends have a history – not that that's important but it was something I thought about. Anyway – we will hit 20 years next month, and I can't believe it -you won't either since time just seems to fly!
I can't even describe how sweet this post is. Congrats on your 5th wedding anniversary and thanks for sharing it with us!
