Fourteen Years

Today is the day that marks fourteen years of marriage for Brady and I. Fourteen is a lot of years, but in the same breath, it really isn’t. We are incredibly grateful we are able to still be together after so much change.

It would be foolish to think things haven’t changed in our marriage in the last two years. Some roles have moved around. Some things are more difficult. Change is always a challenge. But what I can say with confidence is that we are better. Our marriage is better. We are a stronger unit than before, and for that, I praise the Lord.

This last year of marriage has been one of the craziest. It wasn’t surgery year, and don’t get me wrong, that was a big one. The biggest in just about every way. But this last year, we settled into our changes a bit more, and actually lived. We’ve made some big life changes, which have included some unpopular decisions, and our circle has shrunk a little. But our true village of people have not faltered, and we are eternally grateful for that and them.

There are no regrets here. None. Zero.

In the midst of everything we’ve gone through, I wouldn’t change where we are.

I love you, beautiful Brady. Thank you for spending these years with me. Here’s to the next 58, because, you promised.
