Jerry...

6 years ago today, I married my junior high school sweetheart. We realized recently that 15 years ago yesterday, he first asked me to be his girlfriend...15 YEARS AGO!! (technically he had his friend, Joseph ask me to be his girlfriend--hey, I forgive him...we were not quite 8th graders! ha)

I have been so blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life. Everything he does, he does for me and the kids. He never settles for second best, and his number one priority is making sure the me and the kids are happy. Some of my happiest times are watching him play with the kids when he gets home from work. He loves to wake up on the weekends with the kids and play with them in their rooms for an hour or so while I sleep in.

Jerry and I recently went on an anniversary trip to Jamaica. It was THE MOST relaxing week I've had since our honeymoon. It was so amazing, beautiful, and quiet. The accomodations were fabulous, food was fantastic, and the company was even better! It was hard to leave the kids for a week, but they were having a ball splitting time between their sets of grandparents (thank you Mom, dad, Jerry, and julie!!). In fact, Anniston was asking me to leave on my vacation as we were dropping the kids off the night before our flight (apparently, she had things to do on her "vacation" that didn't involve seeing us!).

All week long, we laid out by the beach and would eat at the appropriate times even if we weren't hungry. It was so great! Here are a few pictures.

We would appear to be standing sideways in this picture because I had set the timer on my camera and then ran all the way down the beach and into the ocean just in time for the picture to get taken. We attempted this 5 times....I was worn out!

These "beach beds" were heavenly!

This is what we did for breakfast 3 of the days. We each ordered 2 breakfasts, and then start the day off with Mimosas...yummmm! And the view from our balcony was incredible!

Jerry, I love you. Thank you for the past 6 years of marriage. It's only going to get better!
