Ben. You are THE man. I know of no other man, who, with grace; 1.taught me to be the real me. 2. accepted our unplanned pregnancy just 4 months after marriage. 3. accepted another unplanned baby 3 months after the first one =D 4. told me we'd be o.k. when we found out we were having twins when out older two were still in diapers. 5. is the BEST husband EVER! 6. is the BEST Dad ever....and 7. my best friend.

This marriage is great because of you, Babe. I.Love.You.And.Will.FOREVER. Thanks for the first 11....looking forward to many more in the future!

This year I'm 30 and Ben 34. I am so thankful. Thank you God for these years, this family, this purpose.
