For Erin, Part II

Well Erin it has been three years since we got married andfour4 years since my last "for Erin" post. I am grateful to admit that these four years have been the best they could be. The last post was made because you asked me why I wanted to marry you. Well I would just like this to be an update that we can look back upon in the future. Erin you still are the the twinkle in my sky, the air that I breath, the love of my life. During the last four years you have given me many reasons to be thankful for asking you to marry me on December 26th, 2005. We have had many ups and downs through these four years. Some hardships, deaths, and births, and we stood strong and held together. With the death of both my grandmother and my aunt you were there to support me and comfort me. You were the one that I could openly pour my thoughts and feelings about it all. You were the one that would sit there calmly listening to me crying and yelling, blaming everything and everyone that I could for taking these people from me, having never lost anyone close to me before. I don't know if you know how thankful I was for you to be there for me. That was truly one of the hardest things that I have had to deal with so far, and thankful i had you for support. We have also had our differences. Heh heh and I would like to say that we have gotten much better at settling arguments. Not perfect yet, but much better then in the beginning. Now births. I thought it was incredible and amazing that we had such a beautiful girl. Alyssa is 5 now and its amazing how much like you she is. She is very outgoing, energetic, and is as noisy as her momma. But you also blessed me again with our beautiful twins. Skylar and Taylor. They made 17 months yesterday. I remember sitting in the ultrasound room at the hospital in Tennessee, and the lady walked out for a bit to come back and tell us that they were twins. Our mouths both just dropped open and you were crying happy tears. Then we called your mom and I told her were had to think of some names. It took here a bit, heh heh, but she finally realized what I was saying. Then you called your dad while he was on his cruise in the middle of the ocean. He got excited and was shouting on the ship. I remember telling paw-paw in the van while we were all going somewhere and he got excited and started clapping. They truly were a blessing and a great addition to the family. You truly are an amazing woman. You have given me three beautiful kids and dealt with all my faults and craziness. Now we are juggling the kids and trying to finish school. You are doing great in school. You get upset from time to time but Erin you truly are the smartest woman I know, and i have complete faith in you. Your family has been great. One thing that you have that i have never had was a strong family. Hell most of my family can't stand each other. But I know that having a strong family support system helps a lot. That is what helped made you the incredible person you are today. I have learned a lot from you in the six years that we have been together. You are simply amazing Erin and I can't tall you how happy I am that you said yes. I can not imagine life without you, nor would I ever want to. Even having you gone for the weekend is depressing. Erin I love you with all my heart and soul and thank you for making me the luckiest man alive.
