*Insert mushy post title here*

Well, here we are again. Matt and I have made it around the sun together once more. Today marks 8 years since that bitterly cold January day where we joined our lives and promised each other and God that we would be faithful and true. What a beautiful thing.

I tell Matt quite frequently that there are some times when I look at him and my heart almost explodes because I just love him so dang much. We have been through a lot together, ups and downs but he remains my faithful companion, my strongest support, my inspiration and motivation.

Today, he gave me the gifts of:

• a kiss before he went to work
• still sounding cheerful even after I'd called him too many times at work. :)
• doing the big monthly grocery trip for me
• surprising me with flowers
• getting the boys off to bed
• letting me win crib by one point (this was actually because he thought he HAD won due to miscalculation)
• and a pretty big one that we'll get into another day

How does one girl get so lucky??

I sure love you, Matt! Here's to eternity.
