Happy 6th Anniversary my love!

I just wanted to take a few minutes to wish my best friend Happy Anniversary! 6 years ago today Mark and I were married on an amazing ranch in Rio Cibolo, Texas. It has been one amazing adventure after another and for that, I want to thank him. We have been more places and experienced more things than most people get to their entire lives. We have lived in Texas, Hawaii, Utah and North Carolina and have literally driven cross country together to get there! We have been to Key West, Belize, Cozumel, Grand Caymans and Jamaica, (thank you cruise ships) Molokai, Kauai, Hawaii, Oahu, Maui and Lanai (thank you military). Mark has always made life so much fun and we are constantly seeking out new adventures. We have hunted, fished, camped, hiked, 4-wheeled , skied, tubed, snorkeled, surfed, and body boarded countless times together and these times together as a family are greatly cherished. Above all of this, Mark has made me a better person and has helped me to remember to never settle for mediocre. He has supported me in EVERYTHING I have ever done and encourages me daily to be a better person, wife and mother! He is the best father a woman could ever want for Dakota and Bodee. The love that he has for them is overwhelming and it is so amazing to watch him interact with them. He would literally die for them and I can see it in his eyes when he looks at them. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our family and the adventures that we will go on together. Mark has so many hopes and dreams and I hope to always encourage him to go after whatever makes him happy.
Mark, I love you with all of my heart and would do anything for you! You make my world a better place and I look forward to 60 more years of our crazy life. I love the idea of growing old with you in the mountains and can't wait to start our next adventure together. We will miss you so much these next 7 months and pray that this time goes by quickly so we can be together again. You are everything to us and please never forget that!
I love you forever,
Kristen

Happy Anniversary! I can see the love you have for each other and your children through all of your pictures. You two seem like a fun couple to hang out with. We love to do the same stuff you do. I told Shane he shouldve stayed in the Air Force so we couldve traveled like you! = )
I love your wedding pics.

this made me cry. as a single girl, thats the relationship I am holding out for! In a day where so many people dishonor the marriage covenant, its so uplifting to know people who relish it and celebrate it. You are doing it right and I know God is blessing you guys! Thank you for sharing :-)
