Day 11: My Marriage

*Note: I realize I missed a few days.  I'll catch up now :)

On June 24, 2006, I married this guy:

Today, five years later, I am thankful for my marriage (I was already thankful for Scott on Father's Day).  Over the last five years, Scott and I have had quite the journey: we moved from Florida to Iowa, got married in Michigan, bought a house, had a baby, changed jobs (both of us), had a baby, considered moving (a few times).  And through it all, we've managed to stay as much in love as we were the day we got married.  I realize we're still relatively new at this marriage thing, but I know that in fifty years we'll still be sitting on the couch holding hands and telling each other we love each other all day long. 

I am so thankful that God has given me a partner to spend the rest of my life with, who loves me unconditionally and works hard to provide for me and our family.   I'm thankful I was given a man of integrity and character, who is honest and caring and gentle and loving.  I'm thankful that I don't have to go through life alone, and for the two beautiful children our marriage has produced.

I am thankful for my marriage.
