The Man of my Reality

Six years ago today Landon and I began our lives together. It was a beautiful spring day and it has continued to be a beautiful six years. Things have not always gone as we would have liked. They have not always been easy, but they have always been right. We have been blessed with three fabulous children and have journied through these years together. Side by side, sometimes holding one another up, but always together.

I don't know if I could have found someone who is more perfect for me. The love that Landon and I share is a treasure. It is deep and frustrating and fulfilling. We are huge movie buffs and so often my reference for something comes from a movie. One of the best ways to describe how wonderful my Landon is comes from the movie "500 Days of Summer." One of the characters in the show explains that his girlfriend is better than the girl of his dreams, because she is real. That is how I feel about my sweet Landon. He is the man of my reality and I am proud and grateful to have spent the last six years of our lives together.

For Valentines Day I gave Landon a reason why I loved him everyday from Valentines Day to our anniversary. So today, on our anniversary, I want to share them with you.
