5 years of marriage

Growing up I knew that there just had to be that one person out there that God made just for me.  Then as the years went by I started to doubt that.  I made choices that I knew God was not happy with and was certain He had given up on me.  I was going to be alone for the rest of my life.  I had little faith that God was still on my side.

Then I met Scott while selling cars.  Long story short I fought for a long time with God.  I thought I knew better.  Really?  I thought I knew better than the almighty Creator.  How arrogant am I?  Once I finally gave in I realized that God knows what He is doing.  When Scott finally asked me to married him I was so excited I could barely contain myself.  As soon as we got back in the truck I sent a text to everyone I knew announcing the news.

The day we got married, May 19, 2007, was the best day of my life.  I know I may get some flak for saying this but yes the day I got married trumps the day my kids were born.  But don't worry the day they were born is 2nd.  =)

 Getting my hair done.  I wanted to make sure I looked 

my best for my soon to be amazing husband.

 Me with Mackenzie.  She walked me down the aisle.  A great moment during the ceremony was hearing her yell "That's my mommy and daddy up there."

 Reading our vows.

 We both love the picture.

We had Kennedy less than a year after we were married.  She entered our lives in January of 2008.

 Our first date after Kennedy was born.  Scott knew I would love the winery.

 Lexi joined us in October of 2009.

 Another date night for my birthday.

 Us this past Mother's Day.  Picture taken by our oldest daughter Mackenzie, now 7 years old.

I have learned so much these past 5 years.

I love Scott more than the day we got married.

I love more deeply than I thought was possible.

I know that God is the one that brought us together.

I would do anything to make my husband happy.

I am still in love with my husband.

Scott is an amazing father.  He loves his kids so very much.

I love doing the little things for Scott.

It takes work to keep a marriage going.

Dates nights are still a lot of fun.

I am going to be with my husband forever.

Happy belated 5th anniversary Sparky.  I love you!!
