This Way

6 years ago this Saturday I tricked the best guy I have ever met into marrying me.
This weekend Rob will be away celebrating the upcoming marriage of another great guy (and girl) so today is our "Fake" Anniversary this year.

We have Rob's mom coming to watch the kids as we enjoy a great gift from my mom of a dinner out.

So rewind 6 years, it was hot like now, it was beautiful and my fave guy stood there and said A deals a deal.. we were in love and young, a lot skinner and had no idea what a deals a deal truly meant.

We had no idea how much laughter was going to go along with this deal, or how much more I would fall in love with him as I watched him as a father, or how he would take such great care of us all, how amazing a provider and friend he would be to me during difficult times.

We had no idea how much our time together would mean to us, or how we would stand together at countless weddings, funerals, Christmas concerts or just in our driveway holding hands.

At our wedding a special guy to us both and a long time friend sang/played our wedding song for us first dance, it goes down as one of those times in my life that I felt so blessed. As they had on countless deck parties, campfires and in our living room Steve played his acoustic guitar and Emma sang.. How can you get better then that.

I have tried to replay the memory of our buddies singing our first song each year in my head on our anniversary and would have LOVED to have it on video to share with you all but maybe when we renew our vows... Till then I will share Jewel singing it..
