Blessed By My Marriage

The past ten years have just flown by.  It is hard to believe that my husband and I are celebrating 10 years of being married.  In some aspects it seems like just yesterday that we read each other our vows on the mountain top. And in others, it has been an involved road.

We went from being newly-wedded college sweethearts, to parents of 3 fabulous kids, in a blink of an eye.  We are more blessed than we could have ever imagined.  We've grown closer, gone through new jobs, new dreams, a new house.  All the while, counting on each other and our love to keep us together.

I always dreamed of being married and being a mother.  I always wanted to white satin wedding dress, my dad giving me away, our friends all watching.  And I got it, I got it all.  But I also got so much more.  I am more blessed than I could have ever imagined.  This life I am living is so much richer than my childhood dreams ever began to explore.  So I take a deep breath and remember all this goodness.  I sit here meditating on all the amazing things we've done together and experienced with one another.  Wow.  I pray that I can always remember these happy times and how perfect it all feels right now today!

Thanks for putting up with me and my awful cooking.  You are amazing and I love you more now than I ever did before.  You are God's greatest gift to me.  The best and most perfect gift for me.  I love you Bean.
