Happy Anniversary

Today is mine and Clint's 6 year anniversary. Wow how time flies by so fast when your having fun, and in love. We went out to eat last night and Clint asked me what my favorite moment of us was. I couldn't think of just one I had about 500 in my head. I had 3 from each one of our kids birth- 2 from finding our I was pregnant with our children( Kori was a big surprise), when we sold our house, when we moved back home to be with our family, when Clint got his job here in Corpus, and I could go on forever. Then he said take the kids out and just my favorite moment with just the 2 of us. Well I still couldn't just pin down my most favorite, so he told his favorite was when I told him that I loved him. It was very sweet. We have know each other for 10 years- we talked about when we first met which was at church. His dad had just moved down here for a new preaching job and we went over to introduce ourselves and he told me that I had nice teeth and that I needed to meet his son. He then called his son over to meet me and told Clint to look at my teeth. We met up later and I then asked him out first to my senior banquet at church, and then went bowling after that. I knew the moment that I saw him the very first time that I was going to marry him. We eventually lost touch with each other, went on to do some stupid stuff in our lives, and somehow about 3 or 4 years later we got our lives back on the right track and found each other again. He took me out on a boat to a little island thing in the bay to ask me to marry him( I guess he took me there b/c if I said no he could just leave me there.) And 4 months later got married. A very fast wedding since we and everyone else had to leave to get to my brother's football playoff game.(which he lost.) Went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, which was absolutely beautiful and we have said that every 10 years we are going to go back. Our first house was our fourplex on Spring Loop in College Station. We met great people there which formed into great friendships that we have to this day. Clint is the perfect husband, and father that I could of asked for. He is there for me physically, emotionally, spiritually, and anything else that I need. He is a great Christian example to me and is the perfect helpmate for me. He has given me absolutely everything that I have ever asked for: 3 beautiful children(hopefully 4 one day), trips, houses, cars, and he sacrificed by leaving a great job so that we could move back home so that I could be closer to my family(which turned out to be the best thing that happened to the both of us)- and most importantly he gave me the ability to stay home to raise our kids which was a very big issue for me. He has made all of my dreams come true and I couldn't ask for anything else. So in these very short 6 years we have moved 3 times, had 3 dogs, 3 kids, and 6 cars(perks of working in the car dealership). So I just wanted to let y'all know how these 6 years have been. Sure there have been plenty of ups and downs but that is what a marriage is. And I wouldn't change any of it. So if Clint reads this one day then I will end on telling him Happy Anniversary and that I love you so much and thank you for everything that you have given me. It has been a great 6 years and can't wait to see what the rest of our lives has in store for us. "Forever and Always-Grow old with me and the best is yet to be." A quote I got from a sign in Hobby Lobby. I loved it when I saw it.
