I know that today isn't our anniversary, but we're leaving and I wanted to post some pictures before we left. So, here we are 10 years ago (almost) on our wedding day. We're leaving for New Orleans in about 30 minutes (Chris still asleep) and we're hoping for a most wonderful trip.
We are very fortunate to even have this change to go. Somehow God brought us just enough money (we're budgeted down to the estimated penny), we have great sets of parents willing to help keep the kids for a week and we have somehow made it 10 ye
ars without killing each other. It's a good day.
I've always thought it was God was crazy to take two completely different people and stick them together and then say, here, be married, be on the same page, get along, make kids, pay bills, live together under the same roof, oh, and be happy. It's a crazy concept that it could work. Does He have a crazy sense of humor or does He really h
ave that much faith in us? I guess that where He comes in and where we rely on Him. Well, my point is that Chris and I are very opposite and have been down a long road (that went very fast by the way) and have somehow made it to ten years. And as a result we know, trust, rely on and love each other more than anyone else. We balance each other out in so many way. Like I think more than most couples.
I really love that God chose to wait so long to give us kids. We had 7 crazy years to figure out our relationship, to get jobs secured, to make fun memories and to grow close. Now we're into a new chapter with our children and loving every minute of it. (except the tantrums) :)
I guess long blog short, I feel very blessed to have married Chris and know that a million years ago God thought we would be a good idea.
Thank you family for helping us have time together. Please kiss our kids a 1000 times each day for us and make sure they know even though we're "working" we
love love love them.
We're off. Pray for safe fights and a safe & fun trip.
