Almost Forgot

On May 12, Matt and I celebrated our 8th anniversary! It has been so long since I posted last that I almost forgot about it! We were really happy to be able to get out of town for the night and have some good alone time together. And secretly, we were really hoping to get a nap and sleep in past 6 or 7.

I had so much fun with Matt. It was so nice to just be together and feel like a couple again. To actually start and finish some great conversations without being interrupted and for me to feel focused on him and nothing else. I wish I was able to do that better when we are not on vacation! I am really so grateful for Matt. I feel like we've had an instant closeness since our first coffee date all those years ago. From that moment he had become my best friend, and through every joy and every sorrow that life has brought us in our journey together, he has been my best friend through it all and continues to be. He understands me. He gets me. We share the same understanding of God and what living in relationship with Him is like. He is an amazing father and takes such an active part in their lives. He is a person like no other and my life is so blessed because he is a part of it. I don't know what I would do without him and his love.


This is 8:43 a.m. and it was the time I got out of bed!!!
