Married for 3 years.....

Our first picture we took together


Our most recent picture



Today is our 3rd anniversary. Man, my life seems to have doubled in these 3 years. I don't say that in a bad way, it just feels like so much has changed about me over these 3 years. I've created new habits and passions and I've learned a lot about myself (and still have much to learn). I'm not going to state that it's been bliss, but there have been moments of bliss and times that show how wonderful marriage can be.

I'm an extremely imperfect person, but I would say that I'm grateful that I do have a near perfect heart that works and that it beats for only one person: Alene. I love her so much and I live for her. I've got so much work to do to become the man she needs, but I know she loves me and I know she wants nothing but closeness between us, which is what every relationship should strive for. I love her so much for that.

So, after 3 years of marriage we're somewhat starting a new chapter in our life with a new home, all our debts paid, and a new baby on the way. I'm so happy that Alene is pregnant and that we will be having a daughter together. Alene is such a wonderful mother to Caiden and will be a wonderful mother to our daughter. I'm scared to death of having a daughter, but knowing that Alene is her mother, it calms me at the same time. It makes me so proud of Alene for sacrificing so much for our family and for the pain and torture she is willing to put her body through in order to have our child. She's so wonderful.

Happy anniversary Alene. I love you.
