The Love of My Life!

So, last weekend was Eric and I's 5 year anniversary. It was also my 35th birthday. So, it was a big weekend for us. My sister was nice enough to take Abby for the weekend so we were down to only one child. And on Friday night, my mom came up and watched Jack for us so that Eric could surprise me and take me to a nice hotel for the night. It was soooooo nice to have a little time with just the hubby. I love him and we don't get to spend much alone time together with 2 small children, so we appreciate any alone time we can get. Eric and I had the nicest evening. We went to dinner, played putt-putt and got a full night's sleep!!! That has not happened in a couple of months. I think we were both the most excited about the full nights sleep! Eric did a great job at getting me a couple of awesome presents (without any help from me-I did not give him any suggestions!). He got me tickets to a Darius Rucker Concert at the Zoo and he got me a new pendant for my Pandora bracelet.

Anyway, at this point in the blog I just want to brag on my husband a little bit. It has been the most amazing 5 years. I am more in love with my husband today than ever. He is absolutely one of the most kind, honest, generous, smart, funny, and lovable people that I have ever met. He is such a spectacular father. He helps with the baby in the middle of the night, he just loves to hang out with his little girl. They play and hug and have such a good time together. He is also so great with our little boy. He holds him when he is fussy and gives me a break, even after he has worked all day. He just loves his children and they could not be luckier to have him for a daddy, He even helps keep the house clean (which takes lots of work with 2 small children). He vacuums and dusts and cleans rooms. I don't know what I would have done without him these last 7 1/2 weeks. (or really the past 5 years). The best decision I ever made was to say yes to him and walk down the aisle and marry him. I can't wait to spend the next 50 or so years loving him and our perfect little family!
