It's the first week, and I'm slacking already.
I know, I never promised to post everyday. But that was kind of my unspoken intention.
My last post was Thursday's, which was a special day, even outside of my musings about my hammock chair: May 29th is the day (nine years ago) that Kevin and I got married.
When I think back to that day, the things that first come to mind are the brilliant, cloudless blue skies that we enjoyed, as well as total, humbling gratitude. We were so thankful to be surrounded by so many of our friends and family that came to share in our celebration. It was truly a magical day, in many different ways, large and small.
The past nine years have passed in a contradiction of time. From one perpective, it seems to have truly flown, a blur of time with random milestones erratically marking the way. Other times, it seems to be a miracle that it's only been nine years. Nine years to build the life that we share together, our family, our home. To think of everything we've done in that time, evolving and stretching and growing into the people that we are today ... well honestly, nine years just doesn't seem long enough to have done it all. Not to mention the gestation, birth, and nurturing of our two young boys. All those minuscule details merging together to paint the picture of our lives would surely fill more than nine years, wouldn't they?
In any case, it's been a journey that I'm honored to walk and I'm grateful to have my husband beside me. I look forward to the adventures that lay before us still.
