Dearest Mr.K,
you saved my life(literally) all those years ago, you love me for me, you put up with all my crazy bullshit(and my pain in the ass family), you have helped me create 3 beautiful children i never thought I knew I wanted, you are the half that makes me whole, my best friend, my confidant, you help me to be the woman i am today not the girl you met back in 99, you are the one who wipes my tears and holds me, you're there to laugh when I make a total ass of myself, you know what makes me tick and just how to push my buttons, you hold my hair back when I've had to much to drink and pay for it the next morning(thank God that only happens once every summer),you always have that just for me look on your face when I need it from across the room, you make me laugh, cry, and want more,you complete me, you are my soulmate and i love you more with each passing year. I never thought I could have a love like this but i do and I'm so grateful for you! I can't wait to see what the next 10 years brings up. Thank you for loving me and being the ONE!
Love M
PS. I still get butterflies every time i see you drive away in that black mustang just like the night we first met.see why it's gotta stay! xoxo

oh my gosh, mandy! this totally made me smile! no gagging involved! love it! :) we got married in 2001 also! :)
Mandy, no way would I gag at what you wrote….it is the most honest thing I have seen on a blog in a long while. Happy Anniversary…I just celebrated 17 but my ONE is a pain in the ass most of the time because he is a horrible communicator, expects way too much of the kids, has a hard time finding his empathy bone, and can't communicate- did I already say that? But he makes us laugh, buys thoughtful little gifts from his travels, and deep down does care- he just can't seem to say the words. I blame his mom and the US Air Force who taught him to be a terrific fighter pilot but a not so great communicator.
Mandy, this is awesome. I already have that stamp so don't enter me. But I have to tell you that as I read your list it was almost my hubby and I exactly. The only difference was the puking from drinking on account of I never want to have that experience again so I do what's necessary (LOL) and I drink the MD and he drinks Diet. We are peas in a pod. How cool is that. We've been married 19 1/2 years and every single year I marvel because my own family is a complete disaster and I had no way of learning what a marriage was. Thanks so much for sharing.
I'm still single and searching at 30! Congratulations.
Congrats to you both! I love your he/she journaling, would be great to put on a page! I will be married 12 years next month, time does fly!!
Awwww that was a lovely read. Happy 10 to Mr & Mrs K!! Congratulations & I hope you get some time together to celebrate. I'm still looking for 'the one' but when I find him I hope we have a love like yours! :)
p.s . I trust this journaling will show up on a layout some day!
Aww- Happy Anniversary! We celebrated 10 this year too - crazy.
I love your comparisons :)
Don't enter me, I already have the stamp, but wanted to let you know how much I love this post! :D
Okay, this is wonderful. No gagging at all. This is just so truthful and beautiful and you so made me smile on many of them. Happy Anniversary! I've been married 11 years.

I totally didn't gag! I think it is sweet.
I have been married for 2.5 years to a man I have known my entire life. Well, he wasn't a man when we were kids...he was a kid too. Our moms were college roommates!
I smiled the WHOLE time I was reading this...you seriously could have been talking about my hubby and myself! To a T!! Happy Anniversary!! Wish you both many more years of blessings and love. My husband and I just celebrated our 8th anniversary in July :)
Aww, what a sweet post! Happy Anniversary!
My fiancé and I have been together for 9.5 years, although it definitely doesn't seem like it! :)
