// two years

Another year has flown by. When I look back at our vows and remember saying, " for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, for better or for good, til death do us part" I reminded that marriage is a commitment in all seasons. 

Looking back at this past year I see many areas of growth,strength, vulnerability, humbleness and a deeper love for each other. Being in full time ministry hasn't been easy but God has shown us many areas of our lives we needed to hand over to Him. He took this past year to really do that. 

In the midst of it all He also gave us Liam. We are learning now how to be parents to our son and be married and in a relationship with each other. It's not an easy task and were taking it day by day but I couldn't imagine a better man than Andrew to be by my side to do it all. 

He's my best friend, a rockstar husband and now an amazing daddy to our precious Liam. I know each year will bring it's own set of ups and downs but knowing that I have Jesus as the center of it all and Andrew as my rock, we can accomplish anything.

I love you Andrew with all my heart. Thank you for constantly showing me compassion, helping me grow in the deeper areas of my life, keeping me sane, showing me how to relax and enjoy life, always striving after Gods plan for your life & for our family, giving me Liam and loving me like crazy! 

Here's to more years than we could ever count. We're just getting started on our journey and call God has on our lives! 

Love Forever,

//happy anniversary!

July 21, 2012 I married my best friend.

Andrew you are the best thing that has happened to me.

You make me a better person, you make me smile, you encourage me, you help me in areas of weakness, even if I fight you for it, I am thankful for it. 

You provide for me, confide in me, hold an umbrella over my head even if we get mad at each other.

We travel, sing, annoy, laugh, cry and enjoy each other.

You encourage me on rainy seasons.

You are a man of God, a man on integrity and character, a hard worker, kind, thoughtful, loving, mellow, calm, super & ridiculously musically talented.

You're a dreamer & you show me how to dream.

I couldn't imagine life without you in it.

This first year of marriage was hard, it was a lot of growing and stretching, a ton of learning, loads of communication and opening up but a ton of fun. 

I look forward to eternity with you. 

You are my spouse, best friend and lover.

I love you Andrew!

Love Forever {your wife}
