This year Matt and I will celebrate our 5-year wedding anniversary. I can't believe that time has gone by so quickly. I have enjoyed all of our time together. I always want to be near Matt, he makes me laugh and I am always just so comfortable to sit and hold him, or...have him hold me. We are honest with each other and are willing to make sacrifices for each other.
Now, I have noticed my flaws as a wife a lot lately. I don't think I give Matt all the respect that he deserves. I think that there are times when I am selfish and/or ungrateful. Matt will bend over backwards and do a handstand while still trying to tap dance on the ceiling to make me happy, and there are times where my stubborness just gets in the way. I support Matt always in my heart, but perhaps I do not vocalize this enough to him. Matt NEVER complains, he NEVER yells, and he ALWAYS puts me first! Quite frankly, I don't know what I did to deserve such a wonderful, caring, giving, silly, and selfless husband.
Lately, Matt and I have been thinking about the future of our family... I will let you read into that if you must, I have no announcement to make. So I have been evaluating myself as a wife. This is what has spawned this post. I want Matt to know that I love him madly! I think of him all the time I am not with him, and sometimes being with him in the same room doesn't satisfy my need to just have him hold me in his arms. He makes me happy every day, especially when he tries so hard to cheer me up. I love his sense of humor. I love that he prides himself as the man of the family and he does all that he can to support me. I love that he wants me to finish school, and he has not complained once about me not being able to work. I love that he loves me! I tell him that he is my "favorite," meaning my favorite everything! He is at the top of my list when it comes to anything I love dearly. I plan on telling him all of this in person, but why not share with the blogging world? I love ya baby!

I love what you wrote. I think you both are so blessed to have each other. My sisters, mom, and I always say that you both make a cute couple and you still act like newlyweds. I would say that after 5 years that's a great thing!!!

Katie your words are really touching. I think back to the time we spent hanging out and at church and activities, and it is your unique loving relationship is so evident in the way you treat each other when you're together and apart. We've been married 5 years as well, and I have to say that your words inspired me to work harder and appreciate more! We sure miss you guys!
