On Friday Samantha & I will have been married for 5 years! I know that isn't really that long but it really is to me! When we got together, as I'm sure I have or will blog about sometime, she was a single 20 something year old chick with an awesome job, her own place, & living the life. I was a divorced guy with full custody of my two sons, one of whom was only 7 or so months old. Not really a dream guy, if you know what I mean! She didn't hesitate a second, or at least she hid her hesitation really well, & when the time came she moved in with us when our house was.....disorganized! Yeah....that's the word I'll use! :)
It's hard to believe its been five years! I know I will probably post about how great she is when the day gets a bit closer but I wanted to post a few things I've learned & a few reasons I'm thankful for her.
1st things first: You Rock Our F*ing Socks Off!

We are all thankful that you make us be safe(helmets) but let us be cool($20 eyeball helmet)
d
We are thankful you gave us the 'MOM' blessing to get a dog!
{MOM blessing is kind of like the pope's blessing but the pope won't smack the crap out of you if you do what he said not to do}
You've taught us to appreciate these small moments where maybe nothing is happening but it still means the world.

I'm thankful you haven't left me for a taller, darker, more famous hair dude.

You love us event when we're upset & maybe trying to kill you with 'The Force'

I, myself, have learned that when I'm a smart ass or an idiot I can expect the Irish to come out (behind the kids back because you're a lady & a good mom)
d
I've learned to trust my wife when she says, "just do your hair like you want to...it will look great. Quit being a baby ya big freakin' baby!"
We have both learned & are thankful that we are a pretty awesome family! We would be way less put together & way more creepy/smelly with out you!

This is the only picture that accurately conveys your awesomeness!
