6 Years!

Today, August 9th, 2008, is our 6th anniversary. Six years - bachelor degrees, three children, and a mini-van later, we are not doing too bad. Now how to celebrate six years of endurance, patience, and love? Well...our 17 month old is sick, has a fever, and just threw up all over her favorite stuffed turtle and our bed. The day is looking great. Being a Mommy doesn't stop for special days but no matter what, I wouldn't trade being a Mommy for anything else. Maybe we'll go out for dinner we'll see...

Six years with one person, that's a record for both of us. Our goal is to keep setting new records each year. After our wedding day it has been smooth sailing, happily ever after. Yah right! There has been many big and little arguments, misunderstandings, bad communication, tears, hurtful words exchanges, and even threats of leaving. The good thing is that all of these negative experiences have been learning ones. Now our arguments and misunderstandings are cleared up faster, less hurtful words are exchanged, and we try hard not to get upset as quickly. Each year we get better, always continuing to learn and understand each other more.

During our six years of marriage, together we have had many laughs, made new friends, took lots of pictures, and loved our children. We've also created memories, dreams, and goals together. It honestly doesn't feel like it's been long at all. I still feel madly in love with my Kahana, even more in love than the day we got married. I look forward to our future memories and dreams I'll make with my love.

Being married is a wonderful experience that takes two to work. I'm truly grateful to have Kahana to share my life with. I look forward to sharing our 50th anniversary with him like our grandparents have and our parents will. I hope you to may feel this joy as we have. Hang in there, we all all in this for the long run. :)
