Six

Six– As of today, that’s how many years Kevin and I have been married.  When you first get married, six years seems like a long time, but just like it has been with Kate’s first 2 years, the last 6 with Kevin have flown by.  Although we have lived in the same house for all 6 years, we have been through a lot together.  We bought our house (right before we got married).  We did a complete yard overhaul after moving in, including cutting down 30+ trees and grading the entire yard.  I passed the CPA exam.  Kevin got his doctorate degree.  We added more members to our family; first Max (lab #1), then Cooper (lab #2), then Kate.  I changed jobs.  We bought new cars.  We traveled.  We decided to adopt, again.

We have laughed, and we’ve cried. (Well, maybe not me. I’m not much of a crier.)  In all honesty, there have been ups and downs, but the one constant through everything is that we know we’re in this together.
