Hello handsome Jesus! I am so excited that our 7 year dating anniversary is coming up this week! We were hoping to go away overnight for the first time since Johanna was born to celebrate, but it looks like your parents will be in Mexico and this week, Johanna has been waking up in the middle of the night to nurse every night... so I don't think it will happen yet :( We will have to come up with something special. I am giving you a pair of boxers and a bag of ghost pepper chips that I think you will love ;) It feels so crazy that we have been dating for 7 years... saying it out loud, it doesn't sound like very long. However, that is almost a 3rd of our lives... we really have been together since we were just babies ;) We were so young at 18 when we started dating and I am so thankful that you are the only man I have ever dated! What a blessing our relationship and marriage is to me! You teach me patience, selflessness, joy... you stretch me beyond my own limitations, inspire and encourage me, and gently lead me in my relationship with our Lord. You are my very favorite person in the world! I am so happy to get to live life with you by my side. Through all the change we have been through lately, you have been such a steady rock for me to lean on. You are always happy, always seeing the best in life, and always quick to serve. My love for you continues to grow everyday! We are about to start trying to get pregnant again, and as we enter this new stage in our lives, I am working hard to put you second (behind God). I think last time around, I was so busy feeling nervous and trying to research everything and trying to soak it all in, that I left you behind a little bit... this time, I want to be focused on you through it all. putting you first is the very best thing I can do for our babies <3 I love you so much and am so excited to continue to go through life together! xoxoxo
