22 years

Kenny & I will be married 22 years tomorrow.
Man, did that fly by.

And in this marriage there has always been a balancing act. Kenny has always been the fun one. When the girls were little and doing things I wouldn't let them I would hear him yell, "your mom is coming!" because he was right in there with them. He is calm, I am crazy. He does not let his emotions control him at all. He is steady.
He has been the best Dad ever and an equally good husband. He still makes me laugh. He still makes my heart hurt and that is how I decided I would marry him forever. He was replacing storm windows in his old house and I pulled into his driveway and man, I got this ache and thought...uh oh. I love this guy.
Any time someone has asked about some guy they were dating my first question is; Does he make your heart hurt? and if they say Yes I think it will work.

Yeah, God sent the right guy for the job. He lives with a house full of women and he still has a sense of humor. He always has the best Christmas costume for the pictures. He can cook and he even helps clean. He does all the yard work and pool chemicals. He can fix anything. He doesn't complain when he has to work on the girl's cars. He sat with Aubrey during chemo as much as I did. He comes up with the best and most unique presents. He makes my heart hurt still. Another 22 years? Yeah, I'm in.
