Our Story...4 Years in the Making

Four years ago today my husband and I exchanged our wedding vows. Our families and friends traveled short and long distances to witness the Sacrament of our marriage. Our engagement journey was ending, and a new journey beginning. In our marriage prep course we went over the fact that every marriage has trials and tribulations. There truly are bad times to match each good time. Some of the things we expected along our path, others we have not.

We did still expect to be happy together 4 years later, however, and that has not changed. If my husband proposed to me again today, knowing what I know now about what our struggles would be, as well as our joys, I would say Yes to him all over again. Only this time, I think I'd be more excited and overjoyed. Because this time, I've experienced how much he loves me. I've seen it through his actions...through his daily involvement with me, his share of the housework, his great ways of being the Daddy...I'm a lucky one.

Here are some pictures from our life story:

Who knows what the next chapters will be for us in our life. Maybe we'll move, maybe we'll have more children, maybe we'll win the lotto! (yea right...) I'm pretty sure, though, that we'll continue to fall in love with each other in new ways, and grow from there.
