19 (Amazing) Years and Counting

Last night was Lance and my 19th anniversary!  We celebrated by spending the night in San Francisco at the same hotel we spent our wedding night, The St. Francis.  It's a beautiful hotel right in Union Square.  We ate dinner at Masa, a very swanky French restaurant.  The atmosphere, service and food were all amazing. 

After an exciting night in room (wink, wink), we slept in and then went to the hotel spa.  I got a massage and Lance got a gentleman's facial.  Aaahhh! 

We stopped by a few stores on our way out of town including our favorite French bakery, Tartine and then headed back home to see our kiddos. 

Now for the more serious part of this post...
It was an amazing celebration, but even more amazing is the 19 years we've spent together.  I've often tried to put into words how wonderful a husband Lance is, but I've found it to be impossible.  The fact is, when you experience something like what we have together every day for so long it's not something that can be explained.  All I can really say it that I count Lance as my greatest blessing and I do not take him for granted for one second.  He has always put me first in everything.  He always looks for ways to make me happy.  Without a second thought he will sacrifice his comfort for mine.  He is a perfect father to our little girls.  He loves them so much and is devoted to their happiness.  Lance is a man of integrity.  He has his priorities exactly in order.  He is one of the few men on earth who does not have any issues with pride.  I am constantly amazed by that quality.  He is so handsome. He is funny and we make each other laugh all the time.  He is a hard worker.  He is my protector and I feel safe when he is with me. I could go on and on about him really.  There are so many things to say about him.  He has so many qualities that make him so wonderful.  I just consider myself so blessed to have him! I try hard every day to be the wife he deserves and show him how much I love him. Because I do, more now than ever.  I'm so happy for every day we have together!

And just in case this all got too deep for you, I'll end with this...

I know I do!
