Happy Anniversary

In just a few hours Mat and I will have officially been married for nine years. In some ways it feels like forever ago, and in others it seems like I was walking down the isle

towards him just yesterday.

Mat is everything I ever wanted in a husband. He is kind and caring.

He always wants the best for me and he does his best everyday

to let me know how much he loves and cares about me.

He is an awesome dad. I love watching him and Riley together. They play and laugh

and you can see how much Riley adores his daddy and how much Mat is in

awe of Riley.

We have had our share of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, triumphs

and failures, but through it all we have had each other, and I know that our

love for each other has only grown stronger as the years have passed.

Mat is the man I want to grow old with.

It is such a blessing to have such a constant in my life. We don't always see eye to eye, or share

a lot of the same interests, but I know with all of my heart that Mat is the one whom God

chose for me, and I feel so blessed for all he brings to my life.

He is my past, my present, and my future.

Mat, I hope you know how much I love and cherish you.

Thank you for loving me and being the amazing husband and father you are.

I am looking forward to our adventures in the next nine years to come.

You are my everything!

Love,

Amy
