Six

Six is a good number. It's never been a favorite of mine, per se, but I have to like it by virtue of the fact that it is two of the number 3. And 3 is definitely my favorite number! So, 3x2 is bound to be good, right? Well, in April, we celebrated six years. I won't pretend and sugar coat anything--most of those six years were awesome--but there was an 18 month (6x3, btw...excuse the weird fascination with numbers for a sec) stretch in there where it was really hard. Maybe I should re-phrase that to, "I was really hard." I'm so thankful he didn't give up on me and that I didn't give up on "us". It's been worth all the effort and sacrifice ever since and I am a better person for it. Brian has always seen my potential and been my biggest cheerleader (even though I have a strong dislike for cheerleaders, this seemed like the best word to use at present--spirit fingers and all). He's supported me in anything I've ever wanted to do and has been right there to compliment and encourage me along the way. In his eyes, I get better and more and more beautiful every day--and you know, I'm kind of starting to believe him. I mean, he's been right about a lot of other things, he could be right about this too. I'm so thankful for his dedication to the Lord, to his family, and to bettering himself. If this 6 years is a preview of things to come, well then...I'm pretty sure that the number "6" just might make my list of favorites. I'm thinking 6 x infinity is sounding kind of nice!

*As a side note, we were married 2^2/2^(2^2)/2^2. Figure it out, if you dare.
