Simple but perfect

Today is our 4th wedding anniversary and we both can't believe how the time has flown. These past four years we've done some pretty fun stuff for our anniversary, but this year was a simple year but perfect :)
Thursdays are a REALLY bad day for Andrew. He wakes up at 6 a.m. and has to be to school at 7 and is in school till about 4. Goes over to his grandparents and sleeps till 6:30 and then has to be to work at 7 p.m. and doesn't get off till 7:30 a.m. So pretty much he's going for about 24 plus hours. So to have our anniversary land on a Thursday was not ideal.
When Andrew left this morning he made sure to tell me happy anniversary. I was a little groggy when he told me, but I remembered. When I did get up I went in the bathroom and he had left me a really cute note on the mirror. It was such a fun little surprise. I love it when he leaves me notes of any kind.

Andrew does get a lunch break so we were able to go to lunch together as one little happy family to Red Robin. Then he was headed back to school. I'm glad I was able to see him at least once today.

Here are 4 things I LOVE about Andrew:

1) I know that I am #1 in his life. I know that because of the way he treats me. I cannot imagine being in a marriage where the husband and wife don't put each other before the other one and that's what Andrew does. What a good example to Hayden and our future sons of how to treat their wife. And to our future daughters of what to look for in a husband. I would do anything for him, because I know he'd do it for me as well.


2) Oh the fun we have! We are so stupid together, but I love it. I could go on and on about the weird stuff we do and say to each other. I love our inside jokes and how we can just look at each other and know what the other one is thinking. I believe you really know someone when you can do that.

3) I love how Andrew isn't afraid to let down his guard and be sensitive. He's not ashamed to tear up when something is touching. There have been a few times we'd be watching a show and I'd be crying and then I'd look over and so would Andrew. I love that we can spend hours just talking, discussing, and dreaming.

4) Andrew is such a hard and good worker. I know that I will always be provided for because of his work ethic. I'm so proud of him for doing so well in school and thankful for the sacrifice that he is making to be there. It'll pay off in the end!

I am so grateful that I married my best friend. What a comfort it is to know I can be with Andrew and my family forever. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Just because we didn't do something outstanding for our anniversary doesn't make it any less special. Anything I get to do with him on our anniversary makes it a perfect one. I look at what we've been able to accomplish and the things we've been through together these past four years and I think we're doing pretty good. What a cute, fun, little family we have. Happy Anniversary Andrew, cheers to many more! I love you forever and always.
