Celebrating 4 Years of Marriage

Today John and I will be celebrating our 4th Anniversary although we have been together for almost 11 years. I can't believe it! Like all married couples we have had may laughs and cries together. As I sit and think over the years we have been together 4 main events come to mind. These events are in no certain order just how they have come to mind as I sit here thinking.

1) Our camping trip to highest point on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the middle of November. Do I need to add that it was VERY cold?
2) Our honeymoon in the middle of Hurricane Emily-I turned into Mother Hen gathering food and you broke out of the "Shelter" to beg the hotel manager to give us a room. After trying for what seemed like days... you finally got us a room. The week turned out to be wonderful but the first few days were rocky. Do I need to mention the bus ride into the city! :)
3) You know Christmas is my favorite time of year. You always try to make it special for me by playing "Santa" and putting my gift out under the tree. It is always there even when I get up at 2:30 in the morning like a little child. I love to see the smile on your face as I jump up and down with excitement!
4) Our move to Georgia- You kept telling me it would be fine and you were right. What an adventure it has been with the fleas, termites, giant black grasshoppers, and the tornado!

Okay.......maybe I meant 5 memories!

My all time favorite memory is last November when we went skiing in the mountains and we found out we were going to have a baby. The expression on your face was priceless. I will hold this memory forever. I never would have imagined how great you would have been through this whole pregnancy and bed rest stuff. I cant wait to see you with our new baby. I know you will be amazing...."John, I am not -------- you!"

Being married to you these last 4 years has far exceed my expectations. I cant wait to see what the next four years will bring. Thank you for loving me! You bring out the best in me!

Thank you to all that celebrated with us at our wedding 4 years ago! You helped make it special!! Thank you to our parents who made our wedding possible and first teaching us how to love.
