Yesterday we celebrated 6 years of marriage, Happy Anniversary to us!
In the past 6 years we have learned a lot from each other by loving each other, even on our weakest days. We have stood by each other during our struggles, carrying each others burdens, celebrating our praises, confronting our fears and weaknesses.... anyways, we have been through a lot in the past 6 years. In 6 years we have rented 2 houses, owned two houses, had 2 beautiful children, gone through financial and physical transitions, 2 cats and 1 dog.... and we wouldn't change a thing. The hard parts have made us stronger and the great parts have made us realize how lucky we are to have each other.
Last week I shared with somebody that I would be celebrating my 6 year wedding anniversary and they felt the need to say, "Well, you have one good year left til the seven year itch... they say that your hardest years of marriage are your first and your seventh." I wanted to smack that person right across the face. I just smiled, nodded, and went about my life.
The things that she doesn't know about my marriage is that it almost didn't happen. Adam almost had a massive heart attack after we got engaged while he was stationed in Iraq. If he had had a heart attack over there, chances are he would not have gotten the care he needed and he wouldn't be here today. Thank the good Lord that they sent him for a complete work up to Germany and they found he had 5 blockages in his heart ranging from 55%-99%... less than a week later he went through a heart surgery and had every complication in the book. I was there through it all. We talk about the sequence of events that took place during that point in time. That was the scariest part of our marriage and we weren't even married yet. I am pretty sure that our seventh year will be a piece of cake compared. We value our marriage on a deeper level than the average couple.
We got away this weekend and it was so nice. We went to Birmingham and stayed in a nice hotel and got to do things that we don't get the luxury to do at home with two kids.... holding hands when we walk, a little bit of clothes shopping, uninterrupted meals, sleeping in, and Saturday morning we went to breakfast and sat, drank coffee, and actually had a great conversation for 2 hours. It was like catching up with an old friend you haven't seen in a while. We are with each other and see each other every single day but we don't get to sit and talk like that, it was so nice.
Happy Anniversary Adam! I love the past 6 years we have had together and am excited about what God has in store for the rest of our lives together! I love you more than this world!
Matthew 19:5
Your one and only, Sarah
Two years ago today one of our biggest blessings entered our world!

Happy Birthday Eli!

Tonight after we got home from spending time at my parent's house we had an awesome Family night! We baked a pizza and while it was baking me and the kids made heart shaped chocolate chip cookies in honor of Valentines Day. It was really fun... Emma was into it as much I expected, but I was surprised at how much Eli enjoyed making the cookies heart shaped!
YUM!
After some good food and family fun it was time for a bath!
He is often overlooked by people besides Mommy & Daddy due to his crazy sissy's overactive personality. He is everybody's boy. Mommy's boy, Daddy's boy, even Sissy's boy. His best friend is his Sissy. His favorite activities include being held, being cuddled, watching Dora, holding his froggie (lovey), running, telling Sissy no, reading books, eating, stealing toys from Sissy, being carried everywhere... he is a sweet precious baby boy. In 26 days my baby boy is turning 2- blowing my mind. 
Last Friday night we took Emma on a date all by herself with Mommy & Daddy. We went and ate dinner then took r to a Pinkalicious Birthday Party for her best friend Finley.
