Happy Anniversary to my wonderful Husband!

If all my pictures were not stored away in a dark, lonely storage unit I would grace this post with a picture of our wedding day. But this one is only going to be filled with words.

Three months. That is how long it was from first meeting and getting married. We both came into the relationship with many flaws and jagged pasts. My life had been turned upside down and shaken and I wasn't sure where my life was heading. I wasn't even out looking for anyone. But still we eloped and married five years ago.

We have come so far that looking back, I am not sure who we were then. Our first two years of marriage were spent in intense counseling and that was what saved us and the grace of God. I had become pregnant only three months after we had gotten married and life was intense.

I thank God for Brian everyday. He makes me face my demons and not run from them. Challenges me to search my heart and mind and live life to the fullest. Lets me know he loves me, no matter what I do/did/done.

We still have struggles and fights and moments of uncertainty. That is what life is about. This time I have the tools I need to make it through and a connection with God I thought I had lost a long time ago. Also, the number of a good counseler;)
