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.
