One, two, three, four, five!

Today my husband and I have been married 5 years. It seems crazy that it's been that long and at that same time it all flew by.

We have had some difficult trials during our marriage. Trials I wasn't sure we were going to make it through. We trusted God and five years later we wouldn't change a thing. We would do it all over again  especially all the hard stuff. You have to use your faith muscle-- the more you use it the stronger it gets.

Happy memories from this day are:

• Getting my makeup done with my sister-in-love.
• Getting my hair done with all of my girls.
• My mom and mother-in-love helping me get dressed. 
• Laughing because my soon-to-be husband wanted the same color tie as the groomsmen.
• My Dad walking me down the aisle.
• Crying as soon as I saw Joey.
• Crying more when I saw he was crying.
• Our sweet friend Pastor Jeremy marrying us.
• Pastor telling Joey that he could now kiss his gift from God. 
• His wife telling me I looked just like Carrie Underwood. :)
• Celebrating with everyone we loved. 

In 5 years I have learned:

1. Love is a choice.

2. Continue to put God first. 

3. He's my best friend.

4.. It's not all about me.

5. Don't ever stop dating your husband. 

{I'm still learning new things about him.}

6. He is never going to stop drinking 

out of my glass. 

7. I love getting to watch him be a Daddy 

to our daughter.

8. Pray together.

9. Listen to each other.

10. Fight for your marriage.

Happy Anniversary Babe! I love you so much! I thank God for every step of the way! 

Can't wait for the next 100 years!
