Oops-iversary!

Wednesday was Kellen and my six year anniversary. That evening after Kellen got home from work and Ashton went to bed I went to a friend's house for a Jamberry nail party. As I sat there, I idly checked my phone... Nov 20, 2013. Oops! I text messaged him and we laughed about how sad it was that we both forgot!
Honestly, this was my favorite anniversary yet. The next day, Kellen had the day off and we had errands to run. We are needing to move out of our apartment end of December, so we had some appointments to check out some neighboring communities. As we were going around getting all the availability and pricing information we were really disappointed to find there aren't many options in our price range. We sat in the car discussing our frustrations and our plans. I've never loved Kellen more than in that moment. Sitting with him talking about our dreams and ambitions, weighing options on how to make them happen. It's in those frustrating moments when we have to pull together to problem solve that I'm most grateful for him. He's so hard working and wants all the best things for our family. We went to our last appointment, and to our relief it was perfect! Available and in our price range!
As wonderful as it is to do something fun like a vacation or a date night, it's in the difficult times that a strong marriage really counts. I'm so grateful for my good husband who I can count on in the difficult times.
