A 9 Year Wedding Anniversary Post

It was 9 years ago today (almost to the hour) that Denny and I promised our hearts to one another in marriage. Anniversaries are kind of weird…in some ways I feel like I have known Denny forever and in others it seems crazy to think we have been married for almost a decade.  Looking back on this day I have a mix of emotions-joy and happiness over the commitment we made together, love for the man standing by my side, confusion over some of the decor and style choices I made 😉 , and a whole host of other feelings! And although I may have chosen a different bouquet or colors for the bridesmaids’ dresses, this day marks the beginning of our lives together, and that is what matters.

Marriage has been a journey-there have been lots of highs and a few low points as well, but through God’s grace and our commitment to love each other and put one another ahead of ourselves, I can honestly tell you that I am happier today then I was on the day I said “I do”. I have a husband who knows me a lot better than he did on our wedding day and still chooses to stay by my side and love me unconditionally. I have a marriage that has a little depth-a little character to it after 9 years. I have memories and stories and adventures that we have shared together. And I have the hope and excitement of the future and what it will bring with my best friend by my side.

Happy Anniversary Denny! I love you!
