Marriage and a Father

Do you know someone who's sentence you can complete before they do?  Do you know someone who makes you feel totally safe and secure?  Do you know someone who makes you laugh, makes you smile, makes everything seem like it is going to be okay?   Do you know someone that you are glad you are going to spend the rest of forever with.

I do.

For me that someone is my husband.

This weekend was a special one for us; not only did the kids and I get to celebrate the amazing father he is but Eric and I also celebrated 12 years of marriage.  

We celebrated with a date (no kids) trip to Knotts Berry Farm.  We got to ride all the big rides and relish in how nice it is waiting in line without kids complaining about how long the line is.

It was a great weekend.
