5 Years!

Today is mighty special. 5 years ago today I married my love.

He was feelin' kind of lucky :)

We got married in the dark, without air conditioning, food, or proper music and had the ABSOLUTE time of our lives. Our cake melted. The preacher got stuck in an elevator. We didn't get to have our pictures taken. The heat got so bad that the sprinkler system triggered an alarm and the fire department showed up. The limo forgot to come and get us. We made it all the way to Savannah and realized that we left our passports back on the island. It was 2am and they were in our preacher's hotel room.

We will never run out of memories to laugh about and we absolutely love it.

We got married and Chris got sick. Really sick, but no one knew what it was. We dealt with a long season of unemployment when Chris' company unexpectedly shut their doors. We dealt with the silly gun case. Silly silly silly gun case. We had our first baby. We learned to savor God's grace. We got to know cancer. We kicked cancer to the curb. We bought our first home.

We have learned to love each other inside out and upside down. We have learned that you have to be able to laugh at yourself. We have learned how to change diapers and flush ports. We have learned not to take a single second of this precious life for granted.

Know what we love most about this particular anniversary?

Chris' hair.

Happy Anniversary to my love, my rock, my very best friend.
