Love my Man!

Well, only a short time now until we fly out to CANCUN! Woohoo! I'm pretty excited, but also incredibly nervous to be away from my little ones. I can't even stomach the thought of being away from Emersyn right now, but I'm sure once I cry it out and get there I'll have a good time.
Mine and Caleb's anniversary is on the 23rd, and as we'll be in CANCUN!!!(I can't help it, you have to say it with enthusiasm) I thought I would throw out a little "Happy Anniversary Babe" to him here and now and talk a little bit about US, because I can. And also so you can all see how truly wonderful he really is, and how good the last 4 years of my life have been because he has been a part of them.
He is a great man, and my best friend in the world. When I first met him in October 2002, I knew I wanted to be his friend. He jokes that we first met in a lingerie department because we were both working at Dillards at the time, and that happens to be the area I worked in:). It was an immediate connection, and his personality is so magnetic, I had to be near him. He was so funny and intriguing, and I couldn't help but smile and laugh, and genuinely enjoy myself every time we were together. Our friendship grew stronger until we spent nearly every day and evening together. It was then, 2 weeks before I left to Ecuador for 4 months, that I realized his friendship meant something more to me. So, over the next 4 months we exchanged letters and e-mails from a distance helping our already great friendship grow even more. When I got back, I was a little weird, I'll admit it...confused about my feelings, and everything else in my life, so I moved away. Anyhow...to avoid a long story, I'll just say that it took us a few years, but on April 23rd, 2005 Caleb and I shared the best day of our lives together as we vowed to love each other for all of Eternity!
I love you so much Caleb. You are my dearest friend and confidant. You know how to push my buttons just right, and how to make me mad in as little as 2 seconds! hehe, I don't think that is humanly possible unless it is done by your spouse:) But you know what, you can boost my spirits when I'm down, make me laugh when I'm sad, feel loved when I've had a terrible day, and you sure have a knack for making me feel like I am the only person in the world that matters to you. We have 2 beautiful children, and they love you so much, and seeing you with them as a father brings me such joy. Happy Anniversary. Thanks for all of the good times, and all of the not so good as well. I wouldn't trade a minute of it because it has brought me here today with you.

Since it is our 4th anniversary, here are 4 fun facts that I love and admire about Caleb:
1. Caleb is an incredibly hard worker. The amount of time and effort that he puts forth into his job astounds me. And by so doing, he provides for his family, which means the world to us!
2. Caleb loves movies, and can quote anything and everything. You can also fire off a quote at him, and he will be able to tell you the movie, the actor, the scene, you name it! It is funny.
3. He is VERY intelligent. Having conversations with Caleb never leaves you feeling intellectually unstimulated. He has a true yearning for knowledge and already has a vast comprehension of so much more than my little brain can fathom. Not to mention his imagination. That little head of his...what else is it going to come up with?
4. Caleb is funny. His sarcasm is witty and clever and his humor is beyond comical. More often than not when you are in the vicinity of Caleb, you will find yourself laughing.Can't wait to have some time with ya, Love you babe!

I can tell how much you sincerely love him. That is so great, in a world of marriages that don't work out. You two are such a great couple! It was so fun ages ago when you and Caleb came over to our house to watch a movie. We need to be around people like you more often that can make us dull people laugh! (: I'm glad you get to spend your anniversary in CANCUN (enthusiasm)! HAve FUN!
