Nine years...


Nine years ago today, I married my best friend.  I am so blessed to be his wife.

Nine things I love about Andrew:

1. He is consistent.  And nothing makes a wife feel more safe and secure than consistency.

2. He can make fun of himself.  I love that he doesn't take himself too seriously.

3. He knows to leave me alone after 9:00 pm when I might be a tad cranky (because I wake up so early!).

4. Even though he wakes up at the same time, Andrew is never cranky.  Ever.

5. He is my #1 taste-tester for Mix and Match Mama...and is always honest about what he thinks.

6. He is so much fun with the kids...he loves being a dad!

7. He's smokin' hot.  Seriously.  Can we say 8-pack?!

8. He doesn't just love his family, he loves my family too.

9. He loves the Lord more than anything and because of that, he is able to love us.

And just for fun, I put Andrew's favorite meal up over at the foodie blog...so, if you want to know what this health nut splurges on, click here.

Happy Anniversary Andrew!

Happy Anniversary to a beautiful couple, who inspires me and so many others and whose love for each other is an example of God's love for us all. In the theme of your post, I would like to add my favorite thing about Andrew: (Vintage Mix and Match Family) Back when he took up "chainsawing things" as a hobby, he had previously said "my family is my hobby". I think of that often as an example of how a man, a husband, a father should be. XOXO

Happy anniversary!

I just wanted to say that I am a little dissappointed that you mentioned an 8-pack but you didn't include a picture...lol!

Megan said...

Happy Anniversary! Y'all are such a beautiful couple! You should have Andrew write a blog giving us ladies some workout tips! Lol.

I know it works just for the fact that he doesnt bother you after 9... that deserves an award of some sort!

Hello! I just posted on my blog about my love for this season of The Bachelor and even quoted your Dad. :) Little did I know - you have a blog! (One of my readers tipped me off.) So fun to find you here. Your family was so inspiring and I'm cheering on Sean and Catherine! Thanks for being brave enough to take a risk and for doing it without watering down the things you all know to be true. I LOVED it.

Oh, and Happy Anniversary!

Happy anniversary! I love anniversary posts- it's so refreshing hearing about couples who love each other and their life together! With your love of traveling, are you already planning a big ten year trip? Is there anywhere you're just dying to go?

love how your family is true to who they are and not afraid of what others will say. Congrats on your anniversary! Not a lot of people stay together anymore, they give up. {your family is adorable-wouldn't have known it if I didn't watch the bachelor haha}
