go team barrett!!

yea!!
2 weeks ago, charlie and i had our tenth wedding anniversary! and according to divorce magazine .com, (yes there is a divorce magazine) only 65% of marriages make it to their tenth anniversary. so yea for us. to be honest, it has been a really, really fun ride. ten years sounds like such a long time to me, and not very long at the same time. i think it has a lot to do with charlie being my best friend. i have seen people, on blogs, make a list of things they love about the birthday person. so i am gonna make a list of ten things i love about charlie b.

1. i love the way he is still the first person i want to see in the morning and the last person i want to see when i go to sleep.

2. i love the way he is always thinking one step ahead of what i might need or want, and then does it.

3. i love the way he is always trying to make me smile, even jumping into the pool in January.

4. i love how he will bring me a diet coke on Saturday mornings. with extra ice!

5. i love how he knows the characters on days of our lives, and he does the best john black impersonation.

6. i love how he still holds my hand when we go somewhere.

7. i love watching him love zella. he makes her feel like the center of the world!

8. i love how much random trivia he has stored away in his brain.

9. i love how he is the same person no matter who he is with.

10. i love how he is still my best friend!

so charlie, as you read this, know that i love you with everything that i have, and everything that i am. i am so proud to be your wife. i am so glad that you are zella's daddy. i love my little family. and i am ready to spend the next ten years together!
i love you
jill b

That is just *sniff* beautiful. Congrats on 10 years. That is an accomplishment and a great legacy to leave to Zella.
