I'm not itching are you?

Strange title I know. But I've always heard of the "7 year itch" - referring to being married for 7 years and then feeling like you need to look somewhere else for satisfaction. I can honestly say that I love my husband more today than I did the day we got married. He's a wonderful man and I am so blessed to share my life with him.
Hunny, I thought I would share a few of the things I love so much about you...
- I love that you fall asleep on the couch and start snoring during any movie we try to watch. Then when I wake you up, you adamantly deny that you were asleep but that you were just "breathing loudly"!
- I love that you take such good care of the outside of our house! You do an excellent job maintaing our yard and I appreciate it!
-I love that you can always make me laugh even when I don't want to!
- I love that you are forgiving and you are almost always the first one to "make things right" after we argue!
-I love that you are a great business man and a diligent worker!
- I love your generous spirit and I truly believe it is one of your best quailties!
-I love the way you make up songs about our girls and sing them very loudly to them even in public.
- I love the way you read Dr. Seuss books.
-I love how concerned you are about me. You always make me feel cared for and that means more to me than you realize.
(Here are some pics from our wedding day. I opened up our wedding album and took some pictures of the pictures..not the best quality but you get the point. Enjoy)
Ryan, I am so happy to have spent the last 7 years married to you.
Here's to many, many more! XOXO

I loved reading the specific things you love about Ryan. I'd love to hear his list of things that he loves about you - I'm sure it's long:) Congratulations!

When you guys lived in Barefoot Landing, Jamie and I used to say that you had the nicest yard in the neighborhood (too bad the people who bought your house haven't kept up the good work :-( It is nice when the hubby just kind of takes care of that aspect of the house...I know I appreciate it, too!

Thanks for sharing your special day of memories 7 years ago! Love the pics! More than that, I love the fact that you both are still together after 7 years and that your common goal is honoring Christ in your marriage & family! Congrats on 7 wonderful years! (not a lot of couples can say that these days!:)

You are incredible, Am!! Yes, Ryan is "Husband/Father of the Year" and has been since he made that run to Dunkin Donuts at midnight that one time....just bc we wanted donuts! :) But I have to tell you that by doing that you made me so proud...you are an incredible wife for Ryan!! What you did is what so many men long for their wives to say to them, nevermind proclaim for everyone!! The Lord will bless you both more than you know for continually loving each other by loving the Lord and respecting each other in everything you do. You know you mean the world to me and I know Ryan is perfect for you....I knew that way back when Sonic was around!! haha I think you should put that pic on here sometime!! LOL
Love you mean it!!!
