Six years down, an infinity to go


Aubrey and I celebrate our six-year wedding anniversary today. In some ways, it's hard to believe that it's already been six years. In other ways, it's hard to believe that it's been only six years. This man is incredible and continues to give me everything I've ever asked him for. He spoils me rotten, and I almost never hear the word "no" come out of his mouth. I am so proud of him and the way he works so hard for his family.
Aubrey and I don't have a whole lot in common. Even our personalities are very different. But we don't fight as much as you'd think two opposite people would fight. Do you want to know our secret? I'm lucky to be married to a man who agrees with me on all of the "big rocks". And I mean we do not disagree on a single rock. By big rocks, I mean our core values--mainly religion and spirituality, but also the process of living. For example, we don't argue about whether or not our sons (should we ever get one or some...) will serve missions or our children will go to college. We argue about what we will and will not pay for. I'll take the latter over the former any day of the week, since those are just silly pebbles to me. I am so blessed to be married to a man who not only understands the way I feel about such things, but also feels the same way and understands for himself their importance.

Happy anniversary, Aubrey! I love being your wife and the mother of your children.

Awwww...Happy Anniversary!!!

You are so right about the importance of agreeing on the big things!! I also would like to say that mutual respect makes a HUGE difference in a relationship. That is not something I think everyone realizes right away, but clearly you two got that part down right away :-)

Hope you two had a great day!!

That's so great! Congrats on six years! (We'll celebrate six years in June...) Michael and I are also VERY different in every way, a lot like you and Aubrey. But we DO agree on the most important things, which helps a lot. You guys are awesome!

What a beautiful sentiment to your husband. It seems like forever ago but at the same time I can't believe it's been 6 years! Congrats! Oh and I tried calling you back 5 times and your phone was busy... so I guess you had a better offer!
