So, today Matt and I celebrate our 4th Wedding
Anniversary. These four years have been a whirlwind for us. We met in July of
2009 right after I moved to town to try my hand in grad school. By late
December we were engaged and married the next September in 2010. Days after our
marriage, we learned our family of two was soon to be a family of three – talk about
jumping right in to family life!
Baby girl threw us into a dizzying world of parenting that we were shell-shocked with, but I think we handled pretty well…after we got our sea legs back. We lost our second baby when our first child was 11 months old. But then we were blessed with our second daughter in May of 2013 and are now expecting a surprise bundle this late Fall.
Beside all of the family additions, we’ve been on the move: Matt moved from his apartment to mine after we married; we moved across the hall to a bigger apartment when I was 6+ months pregnant with our first child; we moved across town to a nicer apartment a year later – at least we stayed there until after our second child was born; and we purchased our first home and moved in to it this past March.
Oh, and I quit grad school, got a job, and then switched jobs; Matt switched jobs in the same company, quit, went to school, quit school, got a different job and has since moved up.
We are ready for a slow-down, but know it’s a ways off. But that’s okay.
Of course, I had dreams and hopes and excitement the day I took hold of Matt’s hand four years ago, but I never imagined the fast paced life we’d have and all that we’d cram into 48 short months.

So, you guys: this guy I married is pretty cool. He met me,
loved me, taught me to love – real, honest, soul-baring love - to be honest
with myself, and has challenged me to be a better person (whether he knows it
or not). He’s got a knack for handling impatient and short-tempered me and is
pretty awesome and keeping me grounded and my head on my shoulders. Nothing
melts my heart more than seeing him play with our girls and hearing their peals
of laughter. He’s a good dad. He’s my bestest friend ever. He’s a wonderful man
to go through this whirlwind of a life together. I like him a lot!
Fun fact: we’ve seen each other every day since we were engaged that December of 2009. How awesome is that?!
