Eight Years!

Today's the day!  We made it to our 8th wedding anniversary and in just a week or so, my Hubby and I will have been together for thirteen years!

Thirteen years!

It's amazing to me to look back at our life together over the last thirteen years and see where the Lord's brought us.  I know I posted about our anniversary dinner yesterday, but I wanted to do a little something here being that it's our actual anniversary.

This morning I was thinking about a ton of different things I could write about to share what our anniversary means to me.  I have so many things I could share but decided just to write a little something for my Hubby.  He's been known to read my blog a time or two, so here goes...

Dear Hubby (wish I didn't have to keep calling you that here on the blog...it feels so cheesy but anyways),

I can't believe that today we're celebrating eight years of marriage!  It seems like it was just yesterday that I was walking down that aisle to meet you and say "I do."  I remember how nervous I was and how out of vanity, and at the last minute before Dad walked me down the aisle, I handed him my glasses and told him to hold them for me.  Even though I couldn't see very well without them, I still wanted to feel pretty meeting you down there at the end of the aisle without the glasses getting in the way!  It's a good thing I made it without falling considering how blind I am, huh? :)  I just remember being so happy that the day finally came that I got to be your wife! 

I also remember how at our reception your family reminded me that I was not only marrying you, but the whole family too!  Too funny and so true!

The past few years have been amazing seeing how we went from just two people called husband and wife, to two different people called mommy and daddy. 

We've been through a lot and I think that we've grown so much together, especially since we've become parents.  I am so thankful for you and feel so blessed to have someone who loves me so much and who cares about all the little things, like foot rubs, helping me with the dishes, and making sure I don't have food stuck in my teeth after we've eaten out at a restaurant.  (I'll forgive you that you call my front teeth chicklets...I know they're big)! :)

You are the most unselfish person I know and I want you to know how proud I am of all your accomplishments.  I love you so much!

With love,
Your Ver

P.S.  One more thing...we both used to love Brian McKnight, so we played this song at our wedding.  I thought it would be fun to share it.


I also thought it would be fun to mention how not that long ago on FB, a few of my bloggy friends mentioned that they thought my Hubby had a Mexican accent from seeing pics of him on the blog.  They were surprised to hear he talked "normal" when they played the video of us bringing Alivia home from the hospital.  It cracked me up thinking that lots of other people might also think that he goes around talking with an Antonio Banderas accent or something!.)  The truth is, we're both Hispanic and we both have Hispanic names but my Hubby totally does not have an accent!  In fact, I'm less Mexican than he is and I speak more Spanish than he does.  The extent of his Spanish is pretty much taco and enchilada, LOL!!!! 

Just out of curiosity...are you one of those people who thought he talked with an accent too?  I'm curious to know!
