When we got married nine years ago today, I'm not sure I pictured a trip to TjMaxx, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Rue 21 as our big anniversary celebration. But honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. I maybe could do without the embarrassment of my husband picking up a selfie stick and totally conspicuously taking a photo of us in public, but at least now we have something to document the evening. We have definitely had some great times and some struggles, but I wouldn't in a million years trade the richness that comes from commitment for newlywed bliss. I am so thankful for what God has taught us in these nine years and for the depth of our relationship. Is it perfect? No. Am I incredibly thankful that I get to walk through life with this man? Absolutely. I am more thankful now than I was when we first got married that we get to do this life together. And I can only imagine what we will have learned and what marriage will mean to us when we reach 25, 30, 50 years. I love you, Babe! I am so blessed to be your wife!

Happy anniversary! (And maybe it's worth clarifying that you didn't actually buy the selfie stick. ;) )
Love you two so much!!!
