10 years ago today I married the most awesome guy in the whole world: Mr. LBB
He’s an amazing husband, a doting daddy and a loyal friend. He’s caring, loving, honest, hard working, loyal, respectful and fun. Boo says she is going to marry him when she gets older (I go along with it now or she gets too upset that he’s already married to me….).
Boo helped me pick out photos to represent every year we’ve been together:
He’s my best friend and Boo’s hero.
He does most of the housework. He wakes up early with Boo. He takes a Dora lunchbox to work if he has to. He brings me donuts and Dr. Pepper. He always drives. He takes out the trash and feeds the dog. He does just about everything and never complains. Oh, and I think he’s totally hot.
He never gets enough thanks or praise….and he doesn’t care. I forget his birthday or how old he is (only because I can’t remember how old I am either)…..and he’s forgiving. I’m really bad at gift giving or surprise parties (he’s thrown me two….I’ve never surprised him with anything). He always mentions in passing that he wishes that he had learned to play the guitar when he was younger…..so I went and bought him his first musical instrument and lessons to go along with it. Boo’s going to be so excited…..he’ll have to share it until we can get her one of her own. It’s so cool and Johnny Cash-like…
Mia says
Sounds like you (and Boo!:-) found yourselves a keeper!! Congratulations, Ashley!!

SO sweet, Ashley! I love seeing all the old pictures. He sounds pretty darn amazing…..you two are lucky to have found each other.

Happy Anniversary,
Lindsay

How sweet! And congrats on your anniversary. I don’t know you or your hubby personally but I am sure he is all the wonderful things you say he is. The one thing I can attest to is….you’re right – he is hot… But he’d have to be to snag such a beauty as you! Here’s to hoping you two have many many more anniversaries to celebrate together!

You are such a lucky duck to have a wonderful husband like him. And he is very lucky to have you too. Happy Anniversary!!
adm says
I love the way you esteem your husband. It’s so wonderful to hear all about your supportive husband and your accomplishment of being married for 10 years. Tell your husband thank you for being so supportive of you because then it allows you to share your talents with the rest of the world and continue to inspire a mom like me to be creative.
Robin says
Happy anniversary to the LBB’s!

You forgot to mention that he’s a Red Sox fan. Now that really might make him perfect! Thanks to your husband for all his support of you so we can benefit from your creative genius and happy anniversary to both of you!

BIG Congratulations on 10 years to the LBB’s!! That is awesome!!!! I *love* your beautiful tribute to your best friend, husband!!!! It *is* the best gift we can be given to be married to our perfect match! I’m certain Mr. LBB does all he does for you and Boo out of the love and happiness he has in his heart, and doesn’t even give it a second thought. I have that kind of Sweet Honey too (for 30 years now!).
I bet he was blown away by the beautiful words you wrote, the gorgeous collage, and the amazing guitar and lessons! What a perfect little family!!!
We thank you for what you (with the help of the assistant LBB’s) provide for all of us!
Blessings,
Tootie
Shelly says
Happy Anniversary! It’s amazing how God lines up the perfect men for the perfect women. I feel the exact same way about my guy 🙂
You look the same by the way. That’s kind of not fair at all.
Did he freak out about the guitar??? What kind did you get?
Julie says
I know i’m coming to this post a bit late, I just found you through pinterest, BUT I did the exact same thing for my husband on our 10 year anniversary. We celebrated 15 years this past March. Congrats and great blog.
Sharon says
What an amazing family! You and Your family are in my prayers.

Whenever I hear the Shania Twain song I can
see the both of you dancing at your wedding.
Much love to both of you, Aunt Sharon
