REFLECTION

Well tomorrow is mine and Ians 10 year wedding anniversary and after 10 years I have learned quite a few things.. Figured I would share...

No matter who you are when you get married and the whole "Your now united as one thing" is a little tricky.. In the beginning not a day went by that I didnt want to strangle my husband! The little simple things he would do would drive me mad and make me wonder why in the WORLD did I get married.... I mean seriously why would he do some of those annoying little things that he KNEW would drive me crazy??? I think he did it as a test... I remember we fought soooo much that everyone expected us not to last a year.. However, we were determined to not have a failed marriage and face it we were just kids.. I was only 17 and he was 19 so we didnt know crap when it came to being out on our own.. I remember how stressed out it was to try and figure out what a personal property tax was... Half was through our marriage we knew we were soul mates.. Since we had got to spend time together as a couple we knew it was time to start a family.. I found that once we had Austin I saw things in my husband that I never saw before. And having our first child made my love for him grow sooo much.. Even though we wanted to pull our hair out when we didnt get any sleep and we would beg one another to get up with him in the middle of the night (me usually loosing and having to do it).. At that point though my love for him turned into a type of love that is never ending.. For him to be such an amazing daddy and take care of our son soooo carefully.. Its amazing.. Well then we had little miss Kenzie.. And once again the love grew even more.. The little things he did and still does that use to drive me so crazy is really nothing anymore. I guess you learn to ignore the petty things and focus on the important things in life.. He works so hard to provide for the family and sometimes gets nothing in return.. He spends his weekends off with the kids while I work, not because he doesnt have a sitter because usually his mother offers to watch them. But because he loves our children so much he cant stand to be without them to long. He treats me like a princess and caters to me even though I can be soooo vicous at times. He tells me how beautiful I am every day even when I KNOW he is lying.. If you ever seen me wake up with my mascara smeared all over my face you would understand exactly what Im talking about.. LOL... He calls me a thousand times a day not to check up on me but just to talk to me because he would rather talk to me than anyone else. Even though I usually rush him off the phone because I HATE talking on the phone. I am the luckiest girl in the entire world to have found someone so caring, loving, determined, and faithful! Sometimes I think I forget how lucky I am.. I thank God every day for my family! I have the most precious gift in the world and even though I stress about the material things in life sometimes NOTHING is better than the love that my family shares. God had given me a gift and I pray that everyone in the world can experience the love I have in my life.. I can honestly and truly say The last 10 years have been the most exciting, amazing and happy years of my life. Thanks to my amazing husband Ian Haynes!!! I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH baby.. Im your #1 fan for the rest of our lives!
