Looking Back. It's Been Three Years
Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at 09:34AM It's been three years today since one of the happiest most joyful days of my life. I walked down the aisle and married the strongest, most courageous and loving man I know. I remember on our plane flight to Greece for our honeymoon the stewardess telling me that she loved her husband more now than she did 20 years ago when she married him. At the time, I had just experienced the happiest day of my life, and we were just so in love, that what she said didn't really seem possible to me. Today though, I get it. It doesn't mean that every year we became more perfect (that surely didn't happen) or that we went on more dates and pursued each other even harder than we did before we got married. We have simply through the grace of God grown in love and understanding for one another. Matt loves me when I am a wreck. Trust me that happens. He loves me when I act unlovable, and he makes me laugh when all I want to do is cry. He is laid back when I am uptight. God knew he was the perfect match for me. I know the journey has just begun for us, and there are many twists and turns down the road ahead. But today I am celebrating where we have been. I'm celebrating that I am pretty blessed to have married a truly good man who supports my dreams and truly wants to know the deepest desires of my heart. He isn't ok with just "being married" and living in the same house and kissing each other goodnight and getting up and doing it all over again the next day. He wants to live the adventure of life beside me as we seek to love each other in the way that Christ loves us. It's a huge feat...and we don't always do it well...but it's a journey I wouldn't want to walk with anyone else.
