The love of my life...

I cannot believe that we have been married for 3 years! Where does all the time go?! I must say though that I am the luckiest girl in the world to be blessed enough to be married to my best friend.

I am even more blessed that he was brought into my life at such a young age. It's been amazing to be able to learn and grow with him over the years (almost 9!). I think that because God blessed me with him at such a young age, we have been able to shape each other from early on, which I think is a large part of why our relationship is so deep and we get along so well, well that and our relationship and marriage is based on Christ :D

It's nice that John has been there to experience so much with me. We have been through so much over the years and being able to look back and know we were there for each other through it all, is awesome. :D I am excited that he has been a part of so much in my life and I have been a part of so much in his. I love being high school sweet hearts :D

Anyway, it's weird to think back that at this time 3 years ago I was getting married. It still seems surreal to me sometimes that all this has happened! That we are married!, that we live in Miami, that we have a dog! It's so weird to think about sometimes still! I love thinking back to our wedding day and all that we were able to experience together. I wish I could relive that day again! We were blessed enough to be able to get all our friends and family together from all different parts of our lives. We committed to share our lives together forever on that day and to start a family. We were able to celebrate the love we have for each other in front of Christ and all our loved ones. I am one very lucky and blessed girl.

Our wedding day was perfect and I have so many people to thank for that! Our joke was that it "took a village to get us married." It's true though, not only did we have TONS of family and friends help in different areas of the wedding (tooooo many to name!), these people are the ones who raised us, watched us grow up, and helped develop us into the awesome couple we are. For that I will always be grateful :D

Here is a mini re-cap :D

Leaving the wedding :D It was raining so bubbles happened inside :D
Now, three years later I look back at what an amazing life John and I have started together as one. We have started own family together, grown even closer, moved to a completely different state and are exploring together, and got a puppy to extend our family by one. It's been an amazing journey and I couldnt imagine doing all of this without him.

I have an amazing husband and he just becomes even better each day. Over the past few years he has been there for me like no one else ever could have. He has been there to push me to challenge myself, encourage me to educate myself, taught me how to try even though I have been afraid of failing. He has so much confidence in me and has taught me to have the same. He has been there for me and held me as I went through one of the most difficult times in my life. He lifts me up continually. He also makes me laugh like no other and I could never have as much fun with anyone else than I do with him. How could I? He knows me inside and out and there is no one else that I would ever want to share that with. He knows all that and still loves me :D

I honestly cannot believe that I get to spend every day, night, month, and the rest of our years together :D I fall in love more each day and for that I count myself very blessed :D John Martin- I love you more than you could ever know- words will never be able to tell you how much you mean to me :D Happy Anniversary Boo! Here's to another many, many years of exciting adventures together!!
