Dan and I have made it eight years so far.  Who'd have thought?  I honestly can't imagine living with and getting along with any one person that long, yet here we are.  In the words of my father, "He's a patient, patient man."

Anyone who reads this blog with regularity knows that I ruined our 3 year-old camera just recently by dropping it in the snow and then running it over with the Highlander...not on purpose, by the way.  When I told Dan about it, I was upset and expected him to react the same way.  His only comment, though, was, "Well, it's probably outdated by now anyway.  We should get a new one."  I know he could care less about how trendy our camera is, but he knew the how to calm me down and make me feel better.

That's only a small example of what a great husband he's been.  It's nice to have been with someone so long and still want to be with that same person.  In great blog tradition, I'm going to end this with an engagement picture of us looking young and stress-free, aka the pre-Little H period.  I also like this picture because Dan is making a sexy face so rarely caught on camera.
