and Christmas makes 6

This Christmas will be

mine and D's 6th together.

6th. where did these 6

years go!? I have no idea.

Somewhere in between, however,

we have had two beautiful children,

rented an apartment, bought 

our first home, one of us has graduated

from college, and the other will be

graduating in May (whoo!), and have

too many blessings to count.  How

thankful I am for the past 6 years!

Derek and I will be together 6 years

actually in May of 2011, but we started

dating in May of 2005.. so this makes 6

years. He was arguing with me about

it just last night. I know every day and

important happening in our life.
