February 24

5 years ago this very day on February 24, 2007, I said "I do" to Corey Allen Dalton. Funny how just typing that sentence brought tears to my eyes.
I could spend this blog talking about marriage and love and happiness, but I would rather spend it talking about the wonderful man I married.
Corey is kind. He is endlessly patient with me. He is always gentle. He never raises his voice. He knows when I need a hug and he knows when I need to be left alone. He sees the good in me when I can't even see it in myself. He tells me that I am beautiful when I look like a mess. He has stayed up with me all night when I have been sick knowing that he had to go to work the next day. He is a hard worker. He knows what it takes to provide for me and he does it without complaining. He has been my absolute rock over the past couple of years while I was in school. He allows me to be myself and doesn't make me feel bad about it. And he has blue eyes with the prettiest eyelashes I have ever seen in my life.
5 years ago I married a boy that I loved with my whole heart. Today I am married to a man that I love and respect with my whole heart and soul. I will never deserve this gift that God has given me and I absolutely cannot wait to see what is in store for us over the next 50 or 60 years..........

Happy Anniversary to my very best friend! I look forward to many, many more!
