oh so grateful for...

I am super grateful for Jonny. Seriously. 16 years of marriage and I would say we are better friends now than we have ever been. We have been through some pretty rough stuff, and although we show signs of wear and tear, we are truly happy, which I am trying not to take for granted. He loves me despite my moods, impatience, and lack of coping skills. I love him despite his.....hmmm, what are his flaws? I love this picture because this is how I see us, hand in hand, for many more years.


We keep looking at each other and asking ourselves, "really, four kids, whose idea was this anyway?" Be careful what you ask for, I guess!
I am grateful to have married a guy who doesn't expect perfection, but loves the bumpy journey. With me. I shake my head in wonder...
