Six years ago tomorrow I married my best friend. And I will certainly not sit here and sugar coat it. These six years have been HARD WORK. But I can't imagine putting in all the time, effort, energy and love than with anyone other than Dave. We've built a strong foundation of trust, companionship, love, and friendship over these past six years. A foundation that will help take us through the long haul, to finish strong together.

When I stood in front of all our family and friends and promised my life to Dave I knew that he was the person I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with. The person who I was to love through the good, the bad and the ugly. I was excited to meet life's challenges head on together and celebrate life's joys hand in hand.

But as I thought about our future on our wedding day, I never imagined the pride that I would feel with each passing year. Pride in our marriage. I'm so incredibly proud of how far Dave and I have come together. Two stubborn headed people who fell in love despite their imperfections, quirks and pig headedness. Two people who've made it work. Two people who have pushed through and fought for their marriage. Two people who have become more in love with each passing year.

So tomorrow we will spend the day together reflecting on these past six years. All the good, the bad and the ugly. Marriage is hard work. But it's valuable, honorable and completely worth all the sweat and tears we've poured into our relationship. Are we are fairytale love story, absolutely not. But I love us just the way we are. Imperfect people continually being refined, brought together in love.
