Four years ago... |
Today:
Woke up to Lee crying (too) early this morning and as Kevin came back from calming him back down I mumbled, "happy anniversary Kevin." We have, to date, never actually "celebrated" an anniversary in the traditional sense. (unless a move, extended family events, house hunting, or a doctor's appointment count) Granted, we aren't great "celebrators" to begin with, but every year we say, "next year we are going to celebrate our anniversary." Maybe next year. :)
That said, as we were driving to meet my new (yes at 32 weeks) baby doctor this morning, we were amazed at how much has happened in the last four years and how much we/our lives have changed. (especially the last year; *almost* two babies, the end of Kevin's academic education, a cross-country move and the beginning of a "real" job.)
Looking through pictures of our wedding brought back strong memories of how I felt then, the kind of relationship we had and people we were.
Needless to say, we've changed, a lot and mostly for the best. Some of the things we've experienced I would have been so excited to anticipate and others probably would have kept me up at night with fear and worry.
It really is a blessing that life comes one day at a time and that, good and bad, I didn't know/don't know what was/is ahead for us. I'm just really grateful that we get to face it all together and that whatever life brings will be exactly what we need.
Happy Anniversary Kevin.
Happy Anniversary! You are gorgeous!!! I miss you already and I'm glad I got to see you before you moved far away. I hope all is well!
ReplyDeleteThank you:) It seems like a world ago that I looked and felt like that, but life is better now even with the physical tradeoffs. I'm so glad you could stay before we moved. LOVE YOU!
DeleteWell said Mich. We love you guys so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenna. I have been missing you and Scotter keenly this week. And praying for your new summer adventure to go really well.
DeleteNice Michelle. Love you guys. . .and always remember the best is yet to be!
ReplyDeleteThanks Momma. You're right, that is the best way to look at it. We are/will be very happy here and this is definitely a "blessing-filled" time in our lives.
