Today we celebrate our 7th Wedding Anniversary!!! So incredibly hard to believe that it has already been seven years!! Not sure how I will react when we reach the decade mark, I guess we aren’t newlyweds anymore! It seems like yesterday, yet it’s hard to imagine my life before he was in it.
Looking at our wedding pictures we look like kids, so young with the world set before us. Filled with so many dreams and completely unaware of how God would shape us, form us and draw us into a deeper union.
For some reason this anniversary seems much more emotional for me than years past. It’s more than just a number. I think the tears come from reflecting on the losses, heartaches and trials we have been through and at the same time completely filled with gratitude for our story.
The man who has held me up, dried my tears and walked every step with me. Knowing we have rose above and because of it our marriage has been strengthened. At the same time tears of joy as I think of our future together and the beautiful little boys God has called us to adopt. And a smile instantly fills my face at the very thought of how wonderful a father I know he will be!
