Elias and I just celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary yesterday, marking 5 full years together....
We have completely turned our lives upside down and inside out since June 16, 2005... in the best ways imaginable! Now, I'm not going to say that it's all been roses, we have our tough times, we have our disagreements but at the end of the day... we are together, with Isabella, happier now than before!
Today, we were on Facebook together and saw a post from a cousin of his regarding motherhood and being a homemaker (stay-at-home mom)... lots of people posted that they had "real" jobs or that they don't work at a daycare...
My WONDERFUL husband posted back this response:
