Dear Jeremy

Dear Jeremy,

Today we celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary. The last seven have flown by, I can only imagine what the next seven will bring.

You are an amazing husband and such a fantastic father. We've been through a lot. We have moved 4 times (never again). We have been blessed with two beautiful daughters. We were faced with some health issues with Sarah that corrected itself with just a little time and a little faith. We have survived one lay off from a job I really enjoyed and also very long commutes and the costs of daycare. We have also survived on one income and made it work. We've laughed and we've certainly cried. And through it all, we have learned so much. Our love and our faith have only grown.

You are my best friend and truly the love of my life. Thank you for all that you have done. Thank you for sacrificing leaving your home in Maine when I found a really great job down here in Massachusetts. Thank you for being my rock and my foundation. Thank you for reminding me to look for the good in everything when all I want to do is be mad. Thank you for providing for us so that I can stay home with Samantha and Sarah and give them the attention that they wouldn't receive in a daycare.

I cannot imagine going through any of this without you. You make me want to be a better person; a wife. A mother. A friend. You help me to realize that sometimes just the minimum is not good enough. You just have to raise the bar a little bit higher for a challenge. You have shown me what it means to be passionate about something and how important that is. Thank you for being who you are, and I thank God that we became friends on that day back in 1999.

Here's to another many more. I love you.

Love, Jenn
