It was on Saturday, November 4, 2000 that my life changed forever. On that day, it appeared not to be a big deal, just a simple Wedding Ceremony. A small gathering of family and friends, a small wedding chapel, repeat a few words, say ‘I do!,’ and then the Honeymoon. Nothing much would change (so I thought), I practically saw Nicki everyday anyway, but now we got to live together. Hey! I’m a guy!
That’s why I tell everyone who says, “Wow, you two got married young!” that we actually got married “Young and Dumb,” however I had enough wisdom to land Nicki while she was dumb enough to say ‘Yes!‘
10 Years later…I have no way of telling all of the great and not so great memories that we have shared so far in a blog post, but I can say I am eternally grateful to God for giving me the greatest wife in the whole world. She has stood by me when I’ve followed some of the dumbest dreams and ideas that have ever popped into someone’s head, she’s let me make horrible decisions (and only brings them up every once in a blue moon), she’s been hard headed and difficult (which I am thankful she’s not always been who I wanted her to be), she’s helped me grow and become a better person, she’s been flexible to not always demand her own way. She is loving and merciful when I am a little less so. She is a great mother to our three wonderful children, Gavin, Tristan, and Hailey. Simply put I love her for who she is.
As a bonus…she is an awesome cook and is sexier than your wife (and if you are a woman, she’s sexier than you)!
Happy 10 Year Anniversary Nicki, I love you and look forward to the next 10+ years together!
you’re funny… I love it!
