five


He surprised me with me with his out-of-the-blue apology this week. 

He reminded me of his ability to soothe the broken-heart of a child. 

His gentle actions reaffirm that while we are not perfect and marriage is hard work, 
he is perfect for me and we were put together for a purpose. 

To love each other when times are joyful, and most importantly when they are not. 
To listen to each other when the pain is calling out. 
To support each other when we question. 
To delight in the successes of life and celebrate with passion.
To see the beauty in the small occurrences and make them big events. 
To lift each other up. To lift our family up. 

His ability to relate and comfort is nothing short of amazing. The trust I find in our 
hearts grounds me, having established our foundation from day one. And five 
years later, that trust is my rock. 




Happy anniversary, baby.

  3. The best part was still Loudoun's huge burp right when he was being described as this cute little sweet thing during the speech. HA! That will make me chuckle forever.
