Tomorrow

Tomorrow is a special day. Tomorrow I will have been married to the love of my life for five years. Five years. How can it already be five years?




Now, in light of eternity, that may be a drop in the bucket. Compared to those around us that taught us what marriage is and how to have a successful one – we’re not even close to catching up. We have been so blessed to have so many beautiful examples of godly, successful marriages surrounding us and teaching us… and we don’t take it for granted in the least bit. Our parents on both sides of our family, as well as all four sets of grandparents are married or were married until the Lord took them home. Honestly… how many couples do you know that are so fortunate? Certainly not many.

The Day we met...
Speaking our vows...

A more recent shot from our last trip (at Versailles)


Although five years may not seem like a lot to some, it is a lot to me. It means 1826 days of the euphoria that being his wife creates in me. It means 43,829 hours of being loved and cherished by my soul mate. It means 2,629,440 minutes of joy in my life that I lift up thanks and praise to the Lord for allowing me. I am blessed!
