Happy 4th Anniversary!

Yep, it's been 4 years ago today that Kyle and I got married. I wish I could say that I've spent lots of time remembering that day and looking back at the past 4 years, but that wouldn't be true - I'm a little consumed with the future right now! :) However, Kyle and I did have a brief discussion about the events of the last 4 years as he was playing a round of disc golf the other day (as you can imagine, he was just about as focused on it as I have been!) Really though, we've come a long, long way. We've been through a lot - at least I think its a lot! I graduated from graduate school, we've moved 3 times, bought our first house, took our first long distance car trip (19 hours...just the 2 of us!), we've both had a couple of job changes, and now we are getting ready to add a new member to our family! Kind of feels like the game of LIFE right? Except that game goes by much quicker I think! Anyways, its easy to forget to look back and see how far you've come. When we got married, I had this plan of us buying our first home within a couple of years (since I was going to be starting this high paying job right out of grad school) and then within the 3-5 year time frame, we would start having kids. Yeah - I'm definitely a person who makes plenty of plans...but I didn't think this one out so well. Guess I forgot about that first year when I wouldn't really have a job that paid much of anything while I was in school and Kyle would have to support both of us. That's the true beauty (maybe delusion!) of marriage...when you can live in a house that has to be almost 100 years old, with no heat or air conditioner, eating mac n' cheese, Ramon noodles, and Totinos pizzas every night for dinner - all the while thinking there is some chance that you'll have that house of your dreams in 2 years! LOL It was an adventure, that's for sure - we had our share of difficult times - like when you wake up and realize that you just might have trouble paying all the bills in a single month! However, we managed to make it through and I'm so grateful that I have a husband who loves me unconditionally and is always supportive and encouraging even when I'm in one of my many "moods!" God had truly blessed me with a wonderful man to spend the rest of my life with and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us! Happy Anniversary Babe - I love you!

Just for giggles - I've attached a couple of pics - one from the wedding and one from our honeymoon in Jamaica!
