I can’t believe it’s been three years already!

This time, three years ago today, I was at the salon getting ready to get my hair done for my wedding day!! My mom, my bridesmaids, and I had taken over Deleah’s salon which opened specially for us on Sunday morning and were getting all dolled up while enjoying muffins and frappucinos –  as if I wasn’t jittery and excited enough already, right?

On the night of the rehearsal, I remember someone telling me to be sure to take in every possible moment of my wedding day and not to just let it go by in an excited frenzy of hairspray and makeup. I’m so grateful for that advice, because I can look back and remember May 22, 2005 with startling clarity… even specific moments like, “I’m getting my hair done on the morning of my wedding… AH!” :) Looking back on the day, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Even though some of it didn’t go according to plan, God perfectly orchestrated the entire event!

I loved Chris so much on that day, that I couldn’t imagine feeling anything MORE. But now, three years later, my love for him has grown exponentially! I truly did not realize the gift that God was giving me on that day, when we joined our lives together. It hasn’t been easy by any means, but while some say that the “honeymoon is over” I feel as though it’s just beginning! Every day that my husband provides for our family so I can stay home with our kids, every night when he tells me that he loves me and asks how I’m doing, each time he cleans my bathrooms, changes another dirty diaper, consistently and lovingly disciplines our crazy child and every morning that he tells me he’s praying for me… I fall more and more in love with him and can’t believe that I get to spend each day of my life with him!

I love you, babe! Happy Anniversary :)
