Can it really be that long already? Six years!
Six years ago today Christa and I were in Union, Washington standing in front of God and man committing our lives to loving and serving one another in HOLY matrimony. The sun was blazing (which was its own sort miracle in the state of Washington in early June.) Christa attributes this good weather to a lot of prayer–and having lived in Seattle a few years myself, I believe her.
I remember feeling excited that day as I looked on my bride, it was dream-like and feeling the Lord’s presence at the ceremony I was a bit overwhelmed with awe and wonder. I’m not trying to sound poetic here; I actually remember feeling this way even in the tiredness of all the preparations and expectations put on the event. It was an amazing day and there’s nothing I would change about it.
Since then, whoah, how much could be said! We’ve had adventure after adventure after adventure (for lack of a better term) Two kids, two continents, half a dozen homes / jobs, and more airports than I’d care to mention…and through it all WE STILL LOVE EACH OTHER! There are so many great memories I couldn’t even begin to start an inventory here. And even if I could I wouldn’t because sharing these secret moments is one of the priveleges of being married to someone…
Like any married couple, we’ve had "our rough moments" over the past six years, but I find that these points of disagreement have been few and far between. I can’t say enough how great it is being married to "the right one".
Christa is my best friend, my lover, and my wife. What a great combo! While a lot of activity has been packed into the last 6 years, in some way it feels just like a (BLINK). I wonder if it will feel the same way after 60 years? You’ll have to check the blog in 2066 to find out.
To my wife: Happy Anniversary, my love. Here at ribbon’s end, I’m still the luckiest most blessed guy on the planet. I love you so much. Here’s to the next 66 years…
