Five Years of Wedded Bliss {July 26th, 2008 was the date}

On July 26th, Jason Keller and I celebrated 5 years of marriage! Can you believe that? We haven't killed each other yet. Talk about accomplishment. Just kidding, I couldn't fathom a life without him by my side. I need him. He needs me. We're blessed. We have had more then our fair share of trials in our years of marriage: financial crisis (again and again), moving in with my parents, moving out of my parents, 1st apartment, 1st home, 3 kids in 3 1/2 years. We've grown up, we've grown together, we've fallen even deeper into love. I didn't know that was possible, but I've gone from smitten, to love, to a deeper, purer, stand-the-test-of-time love with my husband. Each day I get to love him, I am grateful.


Jason,
 I am beyond blessed to be your wife. We fight, we yell, we love really well. We learn and grown together with each passing year. Five years has flown, it's been rocky, smooth isn't what we do, but I wouldn't want smooth if it wasn't with you. I am so excited to look back and reflect on the next 5 years, and the next, and the next. Our marriage will last. We will last. God makes us work. It's nice having that glue, that center, that knowledge that we were made for each other. Thank-you babe for sticking by my side through my pain-in-the-butt moments, the ugly moments, the hysterical, irrational moments; and through the beautiful, godly, breathtaking moments like: the birth of each of our perfect gifts, our nights snuggled in bed with 2 boys between us, the daily kisses that despite being pretty much mandatory you still manage to make them feel tender and sweet, and oh so desirable. I love you, I love snuggling, kissing, and everything else. I love being by your side. You ground me, you make me feel secure when everything falls apart. You are my gift, designed by God for me. Amazing. I love you honey.

Love,
Me
