17 down

Happy anniversary my love! 17 years sounds like a long time, and in some ways feels like it too. Ha! But what a journey it has been.  Marriage is a beautiful thing.  To know that you are sharing life with the very person God created to be your partner…to know that no matter what, they will always be in your corner…to know that chances are very good they know exactly what you are thinking before you even need to speak it…it really is a beautiful thing.  But it takes work….it takes work to put their needs before your own…to remember that before kids, it really was just the two of you…to always find a way to stay on the same path, even when you might take separate roads to get there.  We have both learned a lot in 17 years.  We balance each other out, we make each other laugh, and we are very aware of our differences.  But it works.  Because on our wedding day, we knew with certainty that this was God’s plan for our lives. And now 17 years and 3 boys later, I simply could not feel more loved and blessed and just as sure as I was then, that he was made just for me. 💕
