Mexico 2011

I love you Joshua, and I had so much fun getting away with you!

Las Vegas

Josh,

Thanks for taking me to Vegas for our 5 year anniversary! It was so nice to have time with you for a few days, especially after all the studying you'd been doing. It was nice to hang out and talk without any interruptions. I was surprised how much we missed the kids, but I still absolutely cherished the time with you!

Love you,

Brittni

My first In-N-out burger ... in fact, my first burger from a fast food restaurant!

Here we are at the Blue Man Group in the second row ... it was fun!

Oreo

Joshua,

I thought you were pretty hilarious when you told me you had an Oreo in the morning, and I asked why, and you said, "because I pooped in the potty," so matter-of-factly ... you are pretty funny.

Love you,

Brittni

U2

Here we are - a rare night out with friends! It was really fun to go to U2 with you. I love you so much. You're in the home-stretch of studying for the CFA and are taking it like a champ. I'm so proud of how hard you're trying!

you're the best.

Hi Best husband in the world,

I just wanted to say hi and thanks so much for cleaning the house yesterday. I feel like a shmuck because you got so much more done than I usually do when I'm home with the kids, all while dealing with Grace not taking the bottle. I'm super impressed : ) And, I know you did it to show me that you love me and that makes me even more happier. I just microwaved somethign, you even cleaned that. You're the best. Thanks.

Grace has taken 2.25 bottles today with very minimal crying ... wiinnnning! : )

Love you,

Brittni

Happy Anniversary!

Five years ago, I married my best friend ...

are we the luckiest or what?!

And look where we are today!

Josh,

Happy Anniversary! I love you so much and have loved being married to you. You're the perfect one for me...I love spending my life with you and look forward to celebrating many, many, many more anniversaries together!

Thank you for all you do every day to show me you love me (showering in the dark so you won't wake me up, getting up early on the weekends to study so that we can spend more time together, listening to me, staying positive when we're stressed, making coffee, helping out whenever you can without complaint ... the list goes on and on!)

You're the best...I'm so lucky!

Love you,

Brittni

Mother's Day

Hi Josh,

Thank you so much for a wonderful Mother's Day. I loved my card and my bottle of wine. I loved the way you got up and made waffles for me and were prompting Griffin to tell me Happy Mother's Day. I loved all the time we spent together. I love you so much ... you make being a mom so much easier because you're an awesome husband and Dad. I love you so much!

Love you,

Brittni
