He's Still the One

Alex and I celebrated our 12th anniversary on Sunday. It is so hard to believe its been that long, and what a 12 years it has been. Because I stress out so much about finding childcare, I didn't even attempt it this year and our three boys accompanied us to Outback Steakhouse. Not very romantic, but it was actually quite nice. After all, Jacob, Josiah, and Micah are the greatest result of our lives together as husband and wife. We are both so proud to have them as our children. And, yes, I would have really enjoyed some time alone with my husband on my anniversary, but, without sounding too corny or chiche, my boys will be grown up before I know it and I want to treasure every moment with them. I didn't really intend for this to be a post about my kids. I wanted to express how much I love my husband (hence the title) Kids always seem to "steal the show."

I posted the following lyrics from an old Shania Twain song on my myspace page last year on our anniversary, but I thought I would add it to my blog this year. I could have totally written this song myself...to Alex.

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

Bridge: They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

Chorus: You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're the one I want for life
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missing

Bridge: They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

Chorus: You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're the one I want for life
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
