The last 5 years have been wonderful!!! We have done so much since getting married. We moved, built a house, started our amazing jobs,jumped into the foster care world & built an amazing marriage. Looking back it seems like yesterday that we said "I do", but if you would have asked me to look forward 5 years from our special day, it would have felt like an eternity away.
At a glance, our lives look pretty simple...and nice. We are healthy, have a nice home, drive decent cars (okay, one decent car and one car straight from the devil himself!) and have a great marriage. But when you look deeper, you'll see that we are imperfect people, just like you. 99% of the time we get along, but there's that 1% of time that we disagree (hence why it took 3 years for me to get a dog!). We have also dealt with more personal stress than most of the married couples I know. Not being able to start our own family was a devastating blow to us. We never imagined that would be a challenge for us. It is one of the hardest things I think we (we as a couple and we as individuals) will ever have to go through. It is the kind of stress that tears people apart. But thankfully, it has brought us even closer together---if that was even possible. God is growing us as individuals and as a couple and I couldn't be happier to be on this journey with my amazing husband.
Love you, babe!
