{family} Six Years

Six years ago, at the ripe old age of 21, I married my best friend.  Some would say that is way too young.  It was right for us.  And the best decision I have ever made. We had a small, intimate wedding with our most precious friends and family.  It was simple and perfect. 

As I look back over the photographs of our special day, I can’t believe how young we look!  I know many people say that you should wait to get married until after you’ve “lived a little” and “discovered yourself”.  I’m sure that works for some people, but I’m so glad that’s not the course we took.  With my husband at my side, I’ve grown in ways I never thought I would.  I’ve discovered my passions and hobbies, all with Mark encouraging me along the way.  I know we’ve both grown and matured.  Our greatest adventure has been our three amazing boys, who we thank God for everyday. 

I am so blessed.  We aren’t perfect and every marriage has its ups and downs.  We still have more learning to do.  We still have more maturing to do.  But we are a team and I am so excited to experience the rest of our lives together.  I pray it’s a really long time.
