“I swear I couldn’t love you more than I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow.” 
– Leo Christopher

Nine years ago today, we were standing in the back yard, saying we do. We were lucky to be surrounded by our most loved ones, with a baby Tucker on the way. And we were happy. I will never forget Kellen’s reaction when we found out I was pregnant. And I’ll definitely never forget the look on his face the day we got married. This day, back then. It was a look that made me know I’ll never need to question his love for me, or for Tucker, and there’s no faking that.

Today we are just as stupid, brave, daring, trusting, and in love with each other and life. Together. Showing Tucker what love, hard work, relationships, adventure, and everything in between can look like.

He has always understood me, and has always made me feel understood. I mean, who else could see all my good qualities, even when I’m having my worst day? Who else would not only laugh at the silly songs I make up when I cook dinner, but also love me more for it? Who else could think my indigestion is adorable…seriously? Who else can Tucker learn from about how to be both a fun badass and a gentleman? Who else is always up for random adventures, or a long country back road drive home, and be stoked to listen to my weird playlists? And who else looks at me like it’s the first time he’s falling in love with me, every day?

He’s been my other since before we ever met, I’m sure of it.

So here’s to the next part of forever, with my love.
