Five years ago today David and I were married. The wedding was amazing but, like that last picture, a blur. We settled quickly into marriage and for us it wasn’t a big adjustment since we were raised in similar families and they are good friends with each other. We are blessed to share such compatibility.

Since then we have definitely experienced a lot of life. A debilitating disease for him that necessitated four surgeries, infertility and miscarriage, travels, work changes, windfalls, deaths of family members, the birth of our daughter and now the expectation of a son. Mostly though, we are in the midst of the daily grind. It’s hard, but it’s also so, so beautiful. We’re doing it together, and I’m loving it.
