It was five years ago today that we said "I do" in front of friends and family. It was February outside but June in our hearts. Worried about winter storms, we had plans A, B and C in our pockets for how we were going to get married in case of a blizzard, but thanks to God's gift of 70 degree weather outside (Hello, unheard of in the Midwest in February!) we grabbed plan A, promised our hearts biggest promises to each other in a beautiful church, even took some outdoor photos and danced into the night as man and wife.
We had no idea what was ahead as no one does when they say "I do..." We just knew we were going to be together and that was all that mattered. Five job changes, one big move, the loss of our precious son, the birth of our beautiful daughter, the loss of five beloved elder members as well as the addition of twelve young cousins to our family, our years long struggle with infertility and now the upcoming adoption of our next child... It is hard to see the curveballs that life will bring, but it is comforting to know whose hand I have held and will continue to hold around all of the corners in my future.
I love you, Joe. Thank you for loving me so well. We made it to five! xxoo
Today is our 16th anniversary. Yay for February 7th!
