Eight Amazing Years

Well, I am in a much better mood tonight than I have been the last few days and nights. This has been one loong weekend and I'm glad that it's getting better. For those keeping up on how Camden is feeling, he is doing much better today and seems to be continuing to do so. I was worried there for a day or so because his fever (which was low-grade) wasn't seeming to wanna break. I think finally sometime today it came down and stayed down. He now has a bit of a cough and runny nose, but we can handle that over what we had to deal with this weekend. I am getting better also. I am still pumping myself with meds. It's the only way I seem to feel better. It was a shame that we had to miss out on all our planned Labor day weekend events. I am just happy that we seem to be making headway with our recovery. Yeah!!
Tomorrow is a very special day in my life. It is Michael and I's 8th Wedding Anniversary. I am still marveling over the fact that I am married to such a wonderful man. For those who only know the goofy, crazy side to him, there is so much more to him than that. I am so grateful to have found my husband and best friend at such a young age. I don't regret marrying so young. For us, it was defiantly the right time. It's a little weird though, because many or most of our friends have been married for less than 5 years. And they all had kids within the first couple of years. We were married for 6 years when Camden was born. That too, was right timing. I can honestly say that every day, every month, and every year just gets sweeter. We talk all the time about how grateful we are that we have each other and we've said that if the next 8, 9, 10 years are like the past 8 have been, then it's only going to be better than anything we've experienced yet. We get along so easily and have so much fun. I am so grateful for the fact that we have always had great communication. I've told each of our friends before they got married that there are 3 keys to relationship that I believe are vital to making the relationship work. 1. Put God first. Make Him the center of your relationship with each other. 2. Make sure that you communicate. Even in the times of disagreement or frustration, for those are the times you need it the most. 3. Make time for each other. Don't let every day life take away from your valuable time with one another. The longer you are married, it seems the harder is to find that time, and the more valuable it becomes. To this day, I still believe those things and base my relationship with Michael on them. All of this being said, I just want my sweet, wonderful, caring, and gracious husband to know how much I truly love him. I am grateful for you Sweetie!!
