Three years ago today, your dad and I became husband and wife. It was a cold, windy, beautiful day in Walworth County, Wisconsin. We were surrounded by hundreds of our closest friends and family, and had the most beautiful wedding. It was full of laughter, tears, promises, and many prayers and hopes for the years to come. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, but more importantly I couldn't have asked for a more perfect man to spend my life with, through the good and the bad, the happy and the sad.
Your father has challenged me, encouraged me, loved me, and held me up through all of life's ups and downs for not only the last three years, but for almost half of my life through a beautiful friendship that has been made into a beautiful marriage. I thank the Lord daily for bringing him into my life, and am beyond thankful for the life we have been given and His constant presence in our lives.
This morning your Papa got up before me to get you and your brother ready for the day, while I laid in bed for an extra half hour of rest before you climbed into bed with a special gift in hand. "Mama, Mama wake up! Present. Happy!" You handed me a small box, and helped me peel away the paper revealing a beautiful ring made here in France. Your Papa searched hard to find a little jeweler that had pieces from a French Artisan, and I couldn't be happier with what he chose to give me for our anniversary, as well as, a little piece of France to remember our year here as a family.
The Lord has blessed me beyond measure, and I can't wait to see where He leads us as a couple, and now as a family with our two little blessings!
