5 years ago today, I was a brand new bride, glowing, and standing beside my new husband with a grin on my face…our wedding was beautiful, simple and sweet, and on a beautiful sunny winter day with snowflakes softly falling to the ground, picturesque I would definitely say. Planning that beautiful wedding wasn’t my very favorite thing in the world to do (I wasn’t one of those girls who had dreamed of her wedding day since she was 5) I just wanted to be married, and to start a life with this wonderful guy I had met 4 years prior to our wedding date. But the actual day turned out to be so wonderful, and I look back on it very fondly.
My 5 years of marriage to Chris have definitely been an adventure, between moving 5 times (including a BIG one where we lived in the Adirondack mountains of NY for 2 years) and two lovely children, we have kept busy and blessed. Chris has had a passion to be in ministry since the day we met, and I consider it a privilege and my ministry to come along side of him in support of that desire to serve. We long to live our lives for Christ and his will for us, and we try our best at that each and every day. We long to be good parents, bringing up our children in the word and with lot’s of love. We have similar hopes and dreams for our family, and we long to see them come one day.
I am so thankful for my husband, and I can see why God had us meet all those years ago. Chris knows all my quirks and even though they drive him nuts sometimes, he loves me anyhow, and I am thankful for that. I know that I have that love and support from him whenever I need him, and I am so blessed with his love and loyalty. He has never held a grudge and has always been the first to come give me a hug or hold my hand (even if I am not ready for it!) He takes care of our family and is so hard working for us and the Lord. He has been spending time the last 6 months or so learning guitar and I am so proud of him for it, he is really getting the hang of it, and I am so glad he went for it and tried! He’s a go getter that’s for sure, and he has always kept our lives full of surprises and opportunity. I look back to when I first met him almost 10 years ago and I see how far God has taken us already, I am so thankful and blessed, and I look forward to what is to come. I know that he will be there with me, holding my hand as we keep on going through this life God has given us.
I woke up to these flowers on my kitchen table this morning, and was thrilled 
it’s the little things that really get me. Thanks hun for a wonderful first five years of marriage, I love you.
We go together like peanut butter and jelly…
