Nine.

Today Scott and I celebrate 9 years of marriage. It's kind of crazy to think it's been nine years because it doesn't seem like it's been that long. I guess that's a good thing! When I think back to us when we first got married and where we are now, I feel like we're both such different people. We have definitely matured as we've aged and our priorities have shifted greatly. I guess that's what happens when you grow older and have kids. Definitely not complaining about it.
I'm blessed to say I'm in a good marriage. The first few years were hard for us to be completely honest. We loved each other like crazy but there was definitely a learning curve to figuring how to be good at being married. I'm not saying we have it figured out but we live a harmonious life together 99.9% of the time and for that I am so grateful. I married my best friend and as we've grown together, I find that I love him even more today than I did on our wedding day nine years ago.
I respect Scott and admire him. He works so hard to provide for our family. I trust all of the decisions he makes for us and I know that he always gives a lot of thought and effort into whatever the decision, big or small. I love that Scott is a family man and finds joy in simply being with us. He is my teammate when it comes to raising these boys. He works hard all day, then helps me around the house at night. As I'm typing this, he's doing laundry.
I love so many things about him but as these last nine years have gone on, one thing I have really come to appreciate is that he is just really good to me. Also, he makes me laugh. Not many people know that he is actually very witty and quick and has some hilarious come-backs and one liners that make me laugh so hard no noise comes out. I guess I just really like this guy and I'm honored to call him mine.
