five...

Today is our five year anniversary. It is crazy, amazing, and beautiful to look back on the past five years and see everything that has happened. The journey thus far has been pretty adventurous: pregnant within the first month of marriage, joining the Army, two deployments, pregnant within the first week of mid-tour leave, moving and moving and moving, and everything in between. I had the wonderful opporutunity to talk to Kevin a few days ago and I told him that I look back and think, "I wouldn't trade it for anything." And the very next thought is, "Am I crazy?" Then I realize that there is a peace and a satisfaction that comes with knowing you are in the right place, even if you don't understand it at the time.

  1. Congratulations! We can understand a bit of the chaos. We have moved 7 times in our four years of marriage and much of the unexpected has come at us leaving us wondering what was going on. Like you said though, it is all worth it even if you do not understand it at the time.

  2. Happy Anniversary! I'm glad I'm not the only one who got pregnant shortly after getting married. ;) I'm glad you have a solid marriage and two beautiful children. Planning on having any more? :) We think we're done.

  4. Yes, we are a bit crazy!!! But that is what makes this so fun. Who wants to be "normal"? I love you so much and am so glad that it is you that I am on this wild ride with.

  5. Yes, that is very true! God has an awesome plan for each one of our families, even if it ends up not being "our" plan. His is always better. :)
