Wow! Tomorrow will my mine and Stephens 4 year wedding anniversary!! It is so hard to believe. The last few years have absolutely flown by! We have been through so many life changes in the last 4 years it is crazy. Buying our first home and completely renovating it, having (almost) two children, job highs and jobs lows and finally job changes. Going from a two income family to a one income, one stay at home mom family. (um this is really challenging!) A few weddings and sadly, a few funerals.
I'll just go ahead and say being married is hard. But if you are married to the right person for you, all the work in the end is worth it!
I count my blessings and thank God everyday for bringing me Stephen. He is truly the kindest, sweetest, most thoughtful, caring man I have ever known. He is not only the best husband I could have ever asked for, but seeing him as a Dad is amazing. Stephen is completely hands on and has been from the beginning. Diapers, feeding, rocking, bouncing, you name it, he was completely right along for the ride. When I struggled non-stop with breastfeeding, Stephen got up with me every single time I had to get up during the night for weeks and weeks and would coach and encourage me along.
We have struggled with a lot of things, but every struggle has bonded us even more and made us more of a team. I don't know if I could have gotten through any of it with out him. No matter what is going on, Stephen always know how to make me laugh and bring a smile to my face. He will bend over backwards trying to always make my life easier, and forever puts Benjamin and I first. I only hope I am as good to him, as he is to me.
I know it sounds silly, but I truly fall more in love with him everyday. How did I get so lucky, so blessed to end up with him??? I don't know. All I know is I will be forever grateful I went out for a bowling league in March of 2005, or I may have missed meeting him :)
