5 years of Marriage, 6 years of Michael


so today is our 5yr wedding anniversary! Its crazy to think I have been with Michael in marriage for 5yrs, it seems like we just started talking. Let me tell you how we got married, we were on the phone, him in Georgia and me in Texas, he said i have a 3 day weekend, i said well lets get married and that was about it 15hrs later he was in my house and next day we were off to the justice of the peace and then to the lake. No one knew we got married but us it was spontaneous, we had a ceremony planned but didn't wanna wait, we eventually told our family and had a renewal ceremony the following April. Now we are on our 2nd beautiful baby girl! through out these years we have had bumps and smooth sailing, and im proud to say more smooth sailing than bumps, but man the bumps have been BIG! I know that with him by my side no bump is to big, he has seen me at my best and definitely seen my worst a little more than id like him to have seen. God has truly blessed me with the most amazing man, a man who will work 12hrs and still come home and help me with dinner, or baths and cleaning and not say a single word, a man who has a hard day but knows i did to and will hug me and let me vent and hold his venting till im done, A man who no matter how hard it gets he is right by my side, not in front or behind but right beside me fighting whatever battle it is with me. There have been many times where we thought the battles against each other werent worth it anymore, but when we sat down and took a look and saw our future, it wasnt clear unless we were there together, I cant imagine having grand-kids with anyone else, or reading the paper with our gray hair and glasses and talking about the daily's with anyone else but him. No matter how much he can drive me bananas he is mine and mine forever. I still get excited when he gets home from work, and get sad when he has to work late and then get even more excited when he has more than his usual 2-3 days off! I cant even begin to describe the love that has grown since we had Mckenzy, watching him with her makes me love him a million and ten times more, each and every day, he is the best father in the entire world, he really is the daddy that will do anything for his daughter, dress up or wrestle whatever she wants shes got it, she wants to be rocked he stops what hes doing, she wants daddy to feed her, sleep with her, play in her kiddie pool.... answer is always yes! but just watching him love her and know that i will never have to worry if he will leave her or hurt her is the most amazing feeling, knowing that her daddy will be there for her no matter what brings happy tears to my eyes, its something that i didnt have and something that was most important to me for her to have. this blog is probably very bouncy but putting how much you love someone into text is hard, because it is such a strong love, so to conclude this i just want to mention that i am the luckiest woman on earth to be married to Michael Strickler for the rest of my life, God truly gave me the ultimate gift when he blessed me with him because since Michael i have had so many blessings and the 3 most important ones are him and my girls. so thank you Lord and thank you babe for such a wonderful 5yrs of marriage and for my beautiful babies!
