How do I love thee? Let me count the ways....Wait, did someone already use that? Here's the thing, I love you more than Dr. Pepper. You make me laugh and you don't mind if I cry. You are so sweet with the boys, and you do WAY more than your share. You work so hard and stress too much, but I know it's all because you want to take care of us.
One of my favorite things is talking about when we first met. Oh, the fun of Martin, TN! I love that you say you knew as soon as you saw me that I would be your wife someday. I remember thinking that I had to figure out a way to talk to you every day after that night. All the things that made me like you then make me love you now, and I wouldn't trade places with anyone in the world.
Today is "Senior Citizen Day" at school, and I just want you to know that in 30 years, I'm pretty sure I'll look back at this and smile. I'll smile and think, just like that song says, "We've come so far since that day, and I thought I loved you then"...
Here's the deal...this has been waiting to be finished for who knows how long, but I'm hitting "publish" today as is. I have lots more to say about my dear husband, but I can write another looooong post do it! :)

Dear boys-
So much time has passed that I almost thought I'd just give up on this, but I really don't want to! You are both growing by leaps and bounds, and I cannot believe how much has changed. Walker, you are in school now. You love it so far and are learning so much. I am so proud of you and I pray that this new chapter will not dampen your sweet spirit in any way.
Henry, you are walking and starting to talk, and you have developed the sweetest little personality. At eighteen months old, you are already such a card! You do things on purpose to make us laugh - funny faces, silly sounds...I never dreamed I'd have two little comedians on my hands!
I am amazed at the joy you both bring me every day. School is back in session, and I spend every break I get counting the minutes until I can get home to you. I am really struggling at work this year, and home, which has always been my favorite place, has become even more dear to me. I love you both so much, and I want to do better about recording our ordinary lives so I can cherish the extraordinary memories!
