my love and my strength.

I don't think I express this enough, but I am truly so thankful for my husband. He is a gentle strength to my heart and there has not yet been a storm he hasn't helped me weather. He is so much - a provider, a father, a husband, and most of all he is my best friend.

In the four and a half years he and I have been together we have done more laughing, crying, scheming and dreaming than I would think possible for such a short amount of time. We've grown together in ways I didn't know were possible, through things I never thought we'd face. It's been a truly beautiful journey and I am thankful for every strange and wonderful twist in the road for it has shown me how truly beautiful this man's soul is.

It gives my heart comfort to know that above all else he is there, he is with me, and he is mine. He is the ever constant anchor when things feel out of control and he has an amazing capability to bring me back down in the simplest of ways. He has a beautiful heart that holds so much love for our boys that I can't help but love him more and more with each passing moment. Every time he makes Seth giggle in a way I just can't quite manage, or when he jumps at any chance to feel the little fox stirring in my belly, my heart swells and I am filled with the knowledge that my boys have a truly wonderful man to call their dad, as I am blessed to call him my husband.

I am his, and he is mine. From this day, until the end of my days.
