Five years have come and gone, and I think it has to be the fastest five years of my life. So much has happened in five years. We have walked through college, seasons without jobs, seasons with more than one job, ministry, moving, two kids, and everything in between. The last five years of my life have been the greatest adventure. I can’t imagine what my life was without this guy by my side, and i never want to.

He’s the guy who keeps me grounded when I have lost my footing. He’s the guy who slows me down when I try to move a little too quickly. He’s my rock when I have forgotten how to stand. He eats the edge of the brownies and leaves me the center. He always falls victim to my sad eyes. He makes me laugh when I am being too serious. He hugs me tight when I need it most. He deals with my messy and he deals with my beautiful. He sacrifices so much to make it possible for me to stay home and raise our babies. He’s the best daddy I have ever seen. He’s far from perfect, but he’s the perfect one for me.

I would marry him all over again a hundred times, and yes I would still do it at nineteen! I have the rest of my life with this guy. The rest of my life to discover and learn how to love him more. I have the rest of my life to grow with him into who God is calling us to be. The rest of my life to make mistakes and learn from them. The rest of my life to do things right and continue to do them. The rest of my life to choose to love when it’s hard, and to continuing loving when it’s easy.

Being married to this guy is a dream come true. Here’s to seventy more, you always knock me off my feet.
