Happy Anniversary Amy Noelle

To my ever loving wife: Thank you for 8 years of laughs, love, tears and trials. Thank you for surviving through 7 years of having your husband be a student, and working hard to meet a meager budget. Thank you for being willing to follow me to 6 different places of residence, and making all of them a home. Thank you for sacrificing physically and spiritually through 5 different pregnancies (And still being one hot mama). Thank you for 4 beautiful children, who are our life. How could we be without them? You have laid down your life for them, and they will be eternally grateful for you. Thank you for your commitment to 3 more years of residency which promises more lonely nights, long hours of wrangling monkeys alone, and missed important events. Thank you for 2 eyes that have always seen the best in me, 2 hands that have always supported me, 2 ears that have always been willing to listen, and 2 feet that have tirelessly walked a long and winding road. Thank you for 1 sacred promise made 8 years ago on this day, that made me the 1 and only for you, and you the 1 and only for me; a promise that will bless us eternally.

I'd do it all again in a heartbeat as long as I had you to count with. I love you Amy Noelle.
