Seven Years.

Today is our Anniversary.

SEVEN years with this man.

I honestly cannot believe it has been that long.

Of course we have had our ups and downs, but it has been an amazing ride.

I knew I loved him when I married him, but I had no idea how much that love could grow and what a perfect fit he was for me. 

This man of mine knows me better than I know myself and always puts me first.

He laughs at my jokes and knows what to say to make me feel better. 

He can calm my nerves and lighten my load.

He still gives me butterflies when he kisses me.

He keeps track of my phone and fixes my problems.

He starts lots of conversations with "You know I'm crazy, right?"

He keeps me safe and loves me unconditionally.

He even whispers sweet nothings in Spanish sometimes.

He envelopes me in his arms and loves to snuggle. 

(Unless of course it's time to sleep because then I better not cross onto his side of the bed.)

He is the smartest person I know and can remember the most remarkable things.

He is the sweetest father and tells me multiple times a day how adorable our children are. 

He could be the only friend I ever have, and that would be OK. 

We compliment each other so well and often times know what the other is going to say before it is said. 

He is who I want on my team and I know we can take on the world together.

And since this sweet man of mine is out of town today, I listened to this song that describes us so perfectly, and danced around the kitchen with my kiddos to celebrate. 

I am still into you.

Happy seven years together my love.

I hope you know how much I adore you.

Brad Paisley | A Belated Anniversary

Way back in April when we celebrated our Anniversary, we decided to treat ourselves with concert tickets. We agreed upon Brad Paisley.

And after many months of anticipation, the day finally arrived!

We found a sitter for the kids, which to be kid free is a treat in and of itself, and we headed off to our concert at the Gexa Energy Pavilion in downtown Dallas. 

After several minutes of driving around trying to figure out a way into the place, we finally wandered our way into the parking lot and found a spot. We then walked into the land of rednecks. 

It was awesome.

My feet felt left out with no cowboy boots 

and my hands had to stay busy doing something since they weren't holding a beer.

But Brad was epic. 

As was this moment when Carrie Underwood made an appearance to sing her portion of their duet. WHAAAAT? Awesome.

{Yes that floating, glowing angel on the right is Carrie, and that's Brad there on the left.}   

He took selfies on people's phones, handed out autographed guitars, told a young concert goer that his concert was only bottom of the barrel and that this kid needed to see AC/DC and many other bands that I can't remember. He rocked hard on his guitar, wandered through the crowd, and sang songs that made me cuddle up with my love. It was perfect.

We stayed up way past our bedtime, left with ears ringing and heads still bopping, and had a great time! As if I didn't love Brad Paisley enough before his concert... He's even more awesome now!

He did make the comment though that we should have this show in the winter next time.

That may not be a bad idea.

Have I mentioned that I love the Texas heat? Well I still do.

{And yes, that's 11PM!}

But you pay the price in the morning when you have left over make up, crazy hair, and kiddos who wake up far too early. 

Oh well.

Still totally worth it.
