All About Todd: 4 Year Anniversary

Dear Todd,

I have done a post like this before... That was coming from an angry place because I was mad at you. This post is coming from a happy and loving place because today is our 4 year anniversary. It also won't be quite as long as my last post.

Our wedding day. I have to say, I honestly wasn't nervous. I was EXCITED! I KNEW I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, have babies with you, raise them with you and grow old with you and then spend all eternity with you in the kingdom of heaven. I wanted to get that started as soon as possible. Plus, knowing we were going to Italy afterwards helped *wink*
Our Vows

This is my favorite picture from our wedding day


I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. From my perspective, everything was perfect. We confessed our love for each other in front of 400 of our closest family and friends, then danced the night away until they literally told us we had to leave because we were an hour over our allotted time. Amazing!


**Fast Forward**

Our 4 year Anniversary
I can honestly say I love you more today than I did 4 years ago. We have been through so much together in such a small amount of time. The 1st year was pretty challenging considering we had to deal with a miscarriage, just months after our wedding, then ending 2008 with the loss of our sweet angel, Trent Mason. By the time our 1 year anniversary came along, I was still in a fog of depression. Since then, we had Taelyn, who brought more joy to our lives than I could have ever even hoped for.

When we came to the decision that I wouldn't return to work, you really stepped up as our provider. What an amazing husband you are! We are on the same team when it comes to raising our kids and I appreciate the fact that you are an active participant in their lives. I don't have to tell you what to do when it comes to them, if you see something that needs to be done, you take full initiative. I know I give you a hard time if its not done the way I would do it, but I really appreciate the effort. You make my life easier. When I get too overwhelmed and tap out, you are ready and willing to take over. I love you so much for that.

I think this is my MOST favorite picture of us--EVER, that is saying a LOT since we have millions of pictures together. (This was, of course taken by Jess Hekman)


You make me happy and that is pretty hard to do, since I'm the type that is never happy. I love you for everything you are and everything you have made me. I thank you most of all for our precious babies. I don't know what we ever did without them! God took everything in us that is awesome and put it into these two perfect little babies. Man we made some gorgeous kids! I love you honey!!!

HAPPY 4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

Love, Teresa
