Advent Saturday,

I got to marry the love of my life.

Here's to 65 more.

Yeah, we have lives.

Although most of our time is spent parenting our little ones, occasionally Mike and I enjoy a night out, too! This photo, of us at a wedding a few weeks ago, was taken as evidence that I do still own makeup, and Mike still cleans up pretty good. :-)

We had fun. Charlie was awesome, sleeping sweetly in the sling for almost the entire service and portion of the reception I attended, and even throwing in a few smiles. Isn't he handsome in his sweater vest?!

Three years ago...

in weather quite similar to what we're experiencing this week...

I was one happy bride. And today, I three years later, I'm blessed to feel the same. Even in a week like this, one where "for better or for worse" took on a meaning it never has before, especially in a week like this, I feel so content to be part of something that is bigger than myself.

Love you Mikey! Marriage to you has given me the two best roles I'll ever have, wife and mama. How blessed we are. How incredibly blessed we are.
