2 Apartments
3 Cities
2 Houses bought
1 House sold
2 Years pregnant
3 Years (and counting) nursing

3 Trucks
9 Vacations
20+ Churches tried
1 Church joined
Tons of friends loved and left
Millions of memories made

Eight years ago, I couldn't have possibly imagined my life as it is today. I couldn't have imagined how far I'd travel in both miles and maturity. And this may sound bad, but I couldn't have possibly imagined how much I would come to love that man standing next to me at the altar that day.

I mean, of course, I thought I loved him then. But looking back, there is no comparison. He's the same man he was then, more or less, but over time, I have seen his character in both good times and tough times. I've realized how rare he is, what an upstanding man he is, and what a loving and attentive father he is and I've learned to truly appreciate the amazing man I was lucky enough to marry... eight years ago today.
