Happy 3 years to us!

 

Being married to Wade has been the biggest blessing in my life! He has taught me so many things about life! He's taught me how to be a better person and to look at life differently! I look back at life before I was married and am grateful I was prepared for him at the time. I'm glad that he looked past my imperfections and saw me for the person I am (or could be). I wasn't even twenty years old when we got married, but somehow I decided then that I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. That's huge! Deciding to marry someone is a HUGE decision and I was so head over heells I just trusted my gut and went with it. Truly the best decision I've ever made, hands down. (but don't ask me to make another big one, ever, ever again..) Lots has changed since these first few pictures together! :) Oh the single college life...

Our first year was crazy, starting a new life with someone is exciting but challenging..trying to do things your way, but their way too...budgeting, working, going to school...Our second year was crazy too, but just in a different way. We adjusting to living together, but life was busy with school and work, but we didn't have much stress besides that...just worried about ourselves, made lots of new friends, had fun get togethers. Our third year seemed to slow down a bit. We both finished school (well, almost) and we decided to try for a baby. Then we had a baby, and a new sort of craziness just came through the door. It seems never ending, but I wonder what year number four will bring? No more children, hopefully. This mama needs to adjust to life at home with one baby first and finish school! :) 

Awww. life is so good though. My mom always had a quote in the bathroom growing up that read, "Look to this day, for it is life, the very life of life..." Isn't that so true? Today is our third anniversary, and it's almost 11:00 P.M. Wade sent me beautiful flowers from work, but other than that, not much out of the norm happened..the night consisted of mutual, church meetings, homework & relaxing with baby Ivy. Tomorrow night, we might go to dinner and get a sitter. But I don't know, it's just good being where we are. We're enjoying this part of life, for we know it only lasts so long before something changes again.....Did I mention life is good?
