4 Years Ago Today...

(If you missed it, Jonathan wrote me a surprise blog post this morning {scroll down}.  Of course it made me cry!  I also think it is better written than my post is, but I already had this written and ready to post.  Maybe J should be a regular guest-poster on here!  Thanks sweetie! I love you! - Isn't it funny that we used the same picture in our posts? :) )

Four years ago today I married my best friend.  It's so fun to remember what we were doing 4 years ago today.  It's kind of sad how dim the memories of that day are getting already.  But I love to think about all the different activities that went on during our wedding weekend - pedicures, luncheons, hair appointments, time with friends and family!  What I do vividly remember is that it was the hottest day of the year! (Can you tell by this picture?)

We have had our fair share of twists and turns over our past 4 years together, but I wouldn't trade them for the world.  Those crazy ups and downs and rollercoasters we've been on have given us a stronger bond and tested us and brought us closer to God.  When going through struggles, knowing that I could count on God and my husband to be by my side no matter what, was the best feeling in the world.  I feel like we've done a lot of living in four years.

Since we've been married, we've bought one car, two houses, lost a job, both changed jobs twice, had our 5 year college and 10 year high school reunions, lost family members, had infertility issues, and are now having a baby!  So much can happen in such little time!  I'm so excited to see what this next year brings us!  I love you with all of my heart, Jonathan!!  I cannot wait to see you transition into being a daddy!  I'm so lucky to be your wife!
