3 YEARS...

Yesterday Jim and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. I cannot believe it has already been 3 years married and 5 together. Sometimes it feels like just yesterday when we were getting all dressed up and walking down that aisle together at St. Als. To celebrate we went out to The Wolf Lodge in CDA. Its one of our favorite places and one we don't get to go to very often so it was nice and definately worth the trip. I had steak and salmon and a loaded baked potato and a salad and Jim got steak and trout with a baked potato and salad oh yeah and we got deep fried mushrooms as an appetizer. I tried to take a picture of all the food on our table but I could not get one to fit everything. Needless to say we did not leave hungry, and we have lots of leftovers for dinner tonight, and probably tomorrow too :)

As I reflect back on these past few years with Jim the one thing I keep thinking to myself is thanks. I am so thankful to have such a loving, supportive, fun and all around amazing husband and I am even more thankful that he chose me to be his wife and continues to choose me every day. Below is a small sampling of all the things I am thankful for when it comes to being married to Jim:

~Thank you for being such a wonderful, caring, and respectful husband.
~Thank you for understanding my moods, emotions, illnesses, and for always taking care of me.
~Thank you for being such a good 'dad' to our dogs and for taking them for walks in the morning when I really don't want to.
~Thank you for being the 'chef' of the family, and not just assuming when we got married I would cook because I am female. You and I both know if I was in charge of food we would have cereal for the majority of our life.
~Thank you for loving my friends like they were your family. It is so nice to not have to worry about whether or not you like them and that you just accepted the fact that the come with the package that is me :)
~Thank you for enjoying my family and for understanding how important they are to me. And not getting upset when I call my mom for the same advice you just gave me :)
~Thank you for constantly being able to make me smile and laugh, even when I don't necessarily want to.Thank you for challenging me everyday and for making me a better person
~Thank you for always accepting and supporting me and my decisions even if they were not the same ones you would have made.
~Thank you for working as hard as you do, and doing all the extra things just so we can live more comfortably.
~Thank you for being my best friend
~Thank you for marrying me!
