better late than never!

("the beginning" sometime in the summer of 2004)

Fireman Al had our 6th anniversary last week. I can't believe it's been 6 years. When I think about ALL that we have been through, good and bad, I am amazed.

There is so much I could put in this post (6 years worth of stuff!)

I think the things that stand out the most to me are the fact that he always makes me laugh. Every day. Sometimes its on purpose (like when he's trying to get out of trouble) sometimes its just by being him.

He is a small town boy, and always will be. Seriously, big cities make him sweat and get cranky.

He loves his job so much. It's not always easy, and I do most stuff alone. It is who he is though, he wouldn't be whole with out it. I fell in love with him, so that means I accept it. (plus, who doesn't love firemen??)

He has the biggest soft spot ever for our dogs. Kallie follows him around all day long, and he eats it up like ice cream cake. Max sleeps in the bed with him in the morning after I go to work. He built Molly a special shelf in the living room for her ashes, paw print, and collar. Though, that could be just so I would stop crying over her(<- another reason why I love him)

He is VERY loyal to the people he loves. I am thankful to be one!

He makes me want to be a better person.

He is, without a doubt, my best friend.
