*February 14th*

Today, Benjamin and I have been married for 3 years. It seems like we have been married for so much longer, I actually had to do the math to make sure it was 3 years and not more,lol!
I am so glad that I got to marry my best friend! He has been the most amazing husband in the world. He has his faults and does things I wish he would do differently, but I am sure everyone can say that. I love him so much and am so thankful for him and for what has came out of our marriage, our wonderful son Jason.

February 14th, 2008

We had an amazing wedding planned and I had the perfect dress in the world... unfortunately we were not able to do anything that we had planned. Benjamin's school went way longer than expected and his leave did not get approved and he only had 4 days of leave and didn't know what days those were until the day before. We had to get married at the mayors office in town. We had two days to pick from, the 12th or the 14th, unfortunately he came in the evening of the 12th, so we had to go with Valentines Day. It is super corny to be married on this day and we can never do anything because everyone and their brother are doing something on this day. We hope to renew our vows and change it to a few days after, but I am afraid it just wont feel the same, but I guess we would be the only ones who would know..and everyone else who is reading this...lol. Our plan was to have a wedding after, but it just never happened. We are planning on renewing our vows once we are married for 5 years and having a small ceremony with close friends and family. We want to be able to do it right and have our ceremony in a church, have a wedding dress, and have my dad walk me down the isle. We WILL do this! I don't want to look back and be sad about our wedding for the rest of my life, so this is the way it will go. I am very blessed and thankful that I got to marry Benjamin though, he was my first love and everything! We have had a bumpy/rocky past.. but we have gotten through all of that and it has made us even stronger. We have been together off and on since we were 14&15 years old. That's a long time! :)

I love him!
