happy anniversary andy

10.03.2014

dear andy, husband of six years:
we celebrated our anniversary + my birthday tuesday night because we weren't going to be together today. you said we should just kick off the month-long festivities on the 30th anyway because it was already so close to october. i love how you jump the gun on things, like when pizza & vino night comes a day early. 

you didn't have time to bake that double chocolate cake i wanted, but working full-time + attending grad school at night + being the best dad to august is way sweeter. and you *did* make a grocery-run in your pajamas to buy me a pint of caramel cookie crunch. #betterthanbirthdaycake i love how you indulge me.

i've learned so much from you since we have been together. this year - in our sixth one married - you taught me about all about insect life cycles and explained that conglomerates actually are sedimentary rocks; you guided me to (finally!) catching my first trucha while wading in forty-degree water with our 14-month old strapped to your back; you showed august and i the proper way to dribble a soccer ball; and you tried to school me in scrabble but we've played so many times that i've figured out your devious tricks. in fact, we've done so much together, that we're starting to read each other's minds. sometimes we even finish each others sandwiches sentences. 

happy anniversary to the man who makes me want to be at my best, even when we're not together. i would not be the woman, wife, or mother i am today if it weren't for your support, patience, understanding, and sense of humor. thank you for continuing to challenge and teach and love me, i suspect the best really is yet to come.
