4th Anniversary

Man...the time flies! I really can't believe we've been married for four years now. Well, I would say that this year feels like we are growing into one. It seems that we make decisions more fluidly, trust each others instincts more, yet still challenge each other with different perspectives.

I can't imagine not being married to this man. I've fallen more in love with his goofy--doesn't take life too seriously personality--corniest/cheesiest (got it from his daddy) sense of humor. He's crazy with our dog. I just sit back and laugh as he makes her lose her mind running and wrestling. All kids love him (even if I'm the one that's into them). I think he seems larger than life to them with his 6'5" stature and huge smile.

It seems we help each other much more than before or maybe we just are noticing it more. Things seem so easy when we tackle them together. It feels as if there is nothing we can't accomplish together (ha no I'm just being dramatic, but really we make a great team). Practical example, recently I had a bug and I couldn't cut up meat because it made me feel sick. So I needed Andrew to do it for me. He did it so fast! I mean seriously I feel like it takes me forever. Anyway we made the stew together and went so quick. Also during my 5 days of basically laying around sleeping and recouping I think Andrew appreciated all the things I usually keep up. It seems have found our rhythm, which is no easy task for God. He put two of the most strong willed individuals together. The people we are becoming and the marriage that is developing is truly a testament to God's grace. We thank him for continually walking with us and teaching us.

I miss him when we aren't together. Overall, I would say year 4 has been a year of growing together, appreciating each other more, and having fun. What will year 5 bring? Whatever it is I'm looking forward to doing it together.

Here's a photo of us on our sailing adventure in Hawaii! Sorry to tease, I promise I plan to post better pictures soonish!
