Happy Anniversary

13 years ago, I married my best friend. 
The man who loves me the most.  The one who cares about me and likes me for who I am.  No one said marriage would be an easy road but Doug has made my past 13 years fun and exciting. 
We have had our ups and downs like any other couple but our personalities make us so perfect for each other.  I find it great that we can say we've never fought.  Sure, we've had disagreements, misunderstandings and even the odd quarrel, but we are both peacemakers and look for the best way to resolve the issue as soon as we can.  I love that about us.  I want us to be an example for our kids.  One where they see the love and respect we have for one another and the determination we have to make it work.
I'm generally pessimistic, he is my eternal optimist (I love him for that).
Raising our four kids... definitely requires a team effort.
Three miscarriages... so thankful I had his strength to lean on when I thought I couldn't go on.
The excitement of moving into a new house last November... I'm glad I shared that fun with him.
Family trips to zoos, parks, camping...
The list could go on but 13 years is a long time to cram into a blog. 

Happy anniversary Doug.  I love you lots!
