Last month we celebrated our 5th anniversary. We had a grand time. As we looked back at our dating years we shook our heads in wonder. Its only been five years and yet that season of our life seems so foreign. Its almost like an entirely different lifetime. I’m so thankful that our season of dating had God’s fingerprints all over it. He watched, protected and led us, and He still does the same today. Even the season of being a family of two seems distant. Those were years of learning to love, learning to serve and being one. I remember a time telling Brad, “I do want children someday but I’m just so happy with the way we are now.” I loved every moment that we spent together, going on walks, laughing together at nothing in particular, just he and I. Together. Alone. I was somewhat hesitant to give that up. But then we were blessed with our first child and I would never go back, besides we can always look ahead to the empty nest years for time alone again. She has brought us so much joy. I’m so thankful to have married a man who is embedded in Christ and rich in the art of fatherhood. He truly is my hero!
