Today is my boys birthday! I am so incredibly thankful that I get to do life with him each day. I am so blessed that he has been in my life the last five years and that I have been his wife for the last two! What a privilege! He works so hard! He is patient with me! He puts up with my need to take pictures of pretty much everything and my need to bust out in random dances! :) He is genuine and kind!

This boy has my heart! I am so thankful for you! Thank you for being such an encouragement to me and for loving me so well!

I love you B! Happy Birthday!!

two years

Two years. I can't believe it has been two years since I walked down the aisle that I had been longing to walk down for so long! I can't believe it has been two years since we promised forever to each other. I have learned so much. I have grown so much. I have cried many tears and laughed way more. Husband, you are the greatest. You are such an encouragement to me and such a great leader to our family. I am excited to see what the Lord has for us as we embark on our third year as husband and wife. Thank you for loving me well.

To God be the glory!! GREAT things He has done!! May we glorify Him more this year than we did last year! :)

A Letter to My Husband

My Dear Brett,

Words cannot express how thankful I am for you. I am always pretty thankful for you although I may not show you enough. Perhaps this post was inspired because we spent the longest amount of time apart in our almost two years of marriage this past weekend. The longest time being two nights. Wow. I know that is a bit ridiculous when you think about how many couples have to spend weeks and months apart. However, I will not apologize for feeling sad and having just a slight bit of anxiety when leaving you Friday.

I am thankful. I am thankful that we have not had to be apart and that I have been able to go to sleep right by your side almost every single night for the past two years. I am thankful for how hard you work and how you encourage me. I am thankful that you can make me laugh like no one else. I am thankful that you critique me. I am thankful that you push me towards Christ and encourage me in my walk with Him. I am thankful that you play with my hair each night as I fall asleep.

But mostly, I am thankful for our marriage. I am so honored to be your wife. I am glad that God designed us to be together. What a privilege. Please know how much I love you and trust you.

You are my favorite person! :) Thank you for walking beside me each day and loving me well.

All My Love,

Your Wife

One Year

One year. I cannot believe how quickly it has passed. It has been the greatest year of my life. During our ceremony last year Chris said "Marriage will literally kill you. It will kill the parts of you that need to die." I certainly hope that some parts of me have died this year. I will say that the first year has been almost bliss. Not that there haven't been some tough times because there certainly have been. However, I am sure that there are many more struggles to come.I am so thankful for what I have learned! I am thankful that I get to fall asleep and wake up next to my best friend! We have been through many changes from getting used to new jobs, learning to take care of a house, cook meals, traveling, and now buying our first home!

I am so incredibly blessed to be married to Brett. I don't deserve his kindness. I mean.....he has played with my hair literally almost every night as I have fallen asleep for the last year. Seriously. Love language. :)

Brett, thank you for being so wonderful and for taking care of me for better and worse this year. I pray that we will strive to look more like Him and glorify Him through our marriage in our second year together.

Here is a video to commemorate our first year as husband and wife!
