This past weekend was Wesley's birthday and our anniversary. Wesley turned the big 3-0 on Saturday, so we had a birthday party for him on Friday night. Parties at our house mean inviting the youth over. I made cupcakes as requested by the birthday boy, and we ordered pizza. We had a great time hanging out with the kids, playing games and bonding. It was a great night. The next day, Wes' real birthday, we went and ate at Barbara Jean's in Ponte Vedra, one of Wesley's favorite restaurants.
Happy Birthday, Wes! We love you very much!
Monday was our 7th anniversary, our first anniversary as a family. Usually, we would go off for a romantic weekend, but this year we celebrated with a family day. It was so nice, and it really hit me that we are a family. What a wonderful feeling! That day we went to Amelia Island. We took the scenic route on the way up there driving up the coast, and then we went to Fort Clinch,which is a Civil War fort, just to look around.
It was a very hot, sunny day, so we covered Micah up with sunscreen and kept him in the shade as much as possible. He did so great in his stroller, which made our day even better. After the fort we walked around the downtown area and got ice cream. We had a lot of fun together as a family!
This year, although we didn't have a super romantic weekend getaway, seemed even more special than any other anniversary. Wes and I seem to be at such a great place in our life together. I love him more now than I ever could imagine. I love our life together! Biblically speaking, the number 7 is the number of perfection or completion. It may take us to our 77th anniversary to say that our marriage is perfect, but I feel so complete in our marriage. I love being married to him, and I am so proud to be his wife. I love watching him at home with me and Micah. He is our protector and provider. He jumps in any time I need him to help with Micah. He loves spending time with us. I also love to watch him at church and with our youth. He is the most caring, compassionate, kind, and loving person that I know. He loves those kids so much. He enjoys being with them and talking to them and really wants God's best for each one of them. Wesley is an amazing guy, and I am so glad that he is mine. I love him more today than ever before. He is my best friend. He is the one that I want to share everything with. He knows me inside and out and loves me anyway. He comforts and calms me. He makes me smile and laugh. He takes care of me and is always there for me. He is everything that God knew I needed.
Happy Anniversary, Wes! I love you so much!
