3 Years Later...

On this day three years ago I made a promise and vow to my very best friend.  On this day three years ago I started a new life and never looked back.  I jumped, heart first, into this journey and have loved every single minute of it. (ok, not EVERY single minute...but most minutes) 

Happy three year anniversary, husband!  
I cannot imagine my life without you in it, I cannot imagine a better partner in this life or better daddy for our Ellie, then you. 
With you, life is never too serious. 
With you, we always feel safe and taken care of.
With you, we always feel loved. 
Thank you for all that you do...there is no way I could list it all, but just know I love it all and am so thankful for you!!!

As I was reading over our wedding ceremony in a post I wrote here I came across part of the words that were read and it struck me how perfect it was three years ago and how much even more now.  And so I will leave you with them and some pictures...because duh, I love pictures almost as much as I love my husband!

"Real love is something beyond the warmth and glow, the excitement and romance of being deeply in love.  It is caring as much about the welfare and happiness of your marriage partner as about your own.  But real love is not total absorption in each other; it is looking outward in the same direction---together.  Love makes burdens lighter, because you divide them.  It makes joys more intense because you share them.  It makes you stronger so you can reach out and become involved with life in ways you dared not risk alone"
