5 years

Today David and I have been married 5 years! It's an exciting mile marker for us and it seems (in a good way) as it has only been 1 year. I have a perfect husband, best friend, and so much more! I never get tired of him, even if he does make me mad, he is still the one I want to be around and run to! We have so much fun together and the time we have is never enough! We have a since of humor all our own and I enjoy finding the same things hilarious! We get/understand each other in ways that nobody else seems to! He works hard to be a man of God and that means so much to me! Rebecca wrote that she must have won the husband lottery! I loved reading that quote on her blog b/c I'd have to agree with her- I must have won the husband lottery too! He is the best part of my world and now we are getting another best- our son K! I love that from the moment I mentioned how much I wanted to adopt, David was on board! He never thought twice and was so happy with our decision! I feel even luckier as we have told friends and family we are adopting and they don't fully understand or wouldn't want, themselves, to adopt. They fully support our decision but it isn't the choice for them. It has always been the first choice for us and sometimes I think that David is even more excited about this than I am (if that is possible). Our son is precious, a gift from God, and there is no doubt in our minds that God choose our son for us too! I am excited as we start this new chapter in our lives and know that there is nobody better than my husband to go though this exciting journey with! I continually thank God for him.

We did have the day off together as David took a vacation day- but when we got our referral we realized we would probably need the vacation time to travel to Ethiopia. So my husband is sacrificing and has to work. So for you David, thanks for a great 5 years!

Oh, and the pictures are of our rings! I am not a big jewlery fan so we found these and we love them! They are simple, just right, and I love the fact that we have the same ring! They have two sayings on them: "I am my beloved's", and "My beloved is mine". Also, it works out better for me b/c David's name actually means "beloved"!
