Thanks for everything Kelci

Happy anniversary! Five years ago today, we said I do. In four weeks, we’re scheduled to become a family of three. Two of us have now become one family.

And I just want to say how much I appreciate you and all of your support throughout these last few years as we have continued on our journey down our path. We have truly taken our wedding vows to heart, through sickness and in health, for better or worse…

You see, today is our wedding anniversary. Five years of marriage and fun and laughter and tears and happiness and fear and humility and joy. Five years of me being an official “what the hell guy*” And in a few short weeks, our world gets shifted again with the arrival of Baby Berto.

And I can’t wait.

We had our final birth preparation class last night and I’ll tell ya, Kelci is going to be amazing. She is strong, patient, focused and ready to get on with this parenting thing. I couldn’t imagine going into this with a better partner.

Kelci, thank you for being you. For being my friend. For being my wife. For being Kylah’s mother. Five down, 6,824 to go.

* What the hell guy: You see a guy with a girl that’s hot and you think to yourself (or aloud) “What the hell is she doing with him?”

    Eric, how are “we” (guys in general), suppose to rise to the high bar that you just set with this post? Women everywhere are getting all teary eyed after reading this. Great post! Apparently, I need to step up my game. Congrats on 5 years so far, and many more in the future. You're the man! Congrats to both/all 3 of you!

    Hi all, this is Kathy, Kelci's mom, and I want to chime in here to say why I'm not surprised at all that you two are together! Just read the message above and you will all know why these two are one family. Kelci is indeed beautiful, inside and out, and yes Eric, you are lucky she loves you so much. Kelci, you are amazingly wonderful so no wonder a FABulous guy like Eric loves you so much. Happy Anniversary to you both….Kylah is ONE very lucky girl to be coming into your loving arms!.
