Six years

Justin and I celebrated 6 years of marriage yesterday, August 9th. I can't believe it's been six years. . . in some ways it seems like we've been together forever but in others, it seems like just yesterday we got married.

I'm so thankful God brought this man into my life. Thank for Lord for Foundations of Education (the class where I spotted Justin, before I knew who he was.. I just thought - wow, that guy is so cute!!) and then the 13 hour van ride to Colorado when we "just happened" to be sitting next to each other, (Thank you, Rachelle, for getting car sick and leaving an empty seat next to me while you sat up front! :))

In six years of marriage, we've:

• Lived in 4 states
• Held a combined total of 11 jobs
• Owned 2 homes and lived in 3 apartments
• Become expert packers and movers
• Vacationed in Cancun, Arizona, Branson, Galena, Wisconsin, Gatlinburg, Gulf Shores, Florida, and several places on 2 Caribbean cruises
• Experienced the excitement and anticipation of 2 pregnancies
• Experienced the pain of losing our first baby to an ectopic pregnancy
• Experienced the joy of welcoming our daughter into this world
• Begun to learn to surrender our "plans", knowing that God knows us more intimately than we could ever imagine. He gives and takes away. He is good.
• Felt God's loving arms around us as we navigate our way through this life together.

I can't wait to see where God takes us in the next six years. Happy Anniversary, babe!! I love you.
