August 10, 2003 Ben and I were married. Eight years, two states, two kids, one cat, two fish, three jobs, two homes, a couple hundred fights, and about a million kisses later we are here celebrating. I have so much to say and nothing really at all. I hope that if my 26 year old self caught a glimpse into our life that she would be filled with joy and amazement at what God has brought about. Hopefully, she would look past the garage filled with 'stuff' and the fall family calendar nearly pencilled full and want to stay a little longer to see the expressions of love and hear the sweet conversations at bedtime. I am so thankful that God selected the partner he did for me. To be honest, it was kind of unexpected. But who wouldn't be won over by honesty, faithfulness, hilarity, and unending affection? My life with Ben has been full of surprises but probably what surprises me the most is that he looks at me the same way now as he did when I was 19. Exactly the same. It's hard to explain but it's almost like he's surprised by me. This journey has been different than I thought but so wonderful to know and be known, to love and be loved. And that is what we celebrate today.
