Six Years

It is hard to believe that Matt and I have been married for six years now! In so many ways, though, it seems like so much longer. I feel as though I have been with Matt forever. I believe that I have been, in many ways. Nothing brings me greater joy than knowing that I will be with him and with our children forever. I am more grateful than any human words can express for Matt. He is my Love, and my life! I Love you, Matt!

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating our anniversary! This year we kept things so simple and didn’t do anything big and splashy. After all that has happened lately, I think we were just feeling a solemn gratitude to just be together. Nothing else could have made that sweeter.

On Friday night, Matt and I just wanted a little bit of quiet time together. We ordered a pizza and took it down to the dock to watch the sunset together. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. I couldn’t have been happier than just being with him right then.

I am still in awe of water that just stretches on and on, seemingly forever. Standing at the edge of the water with Matt was a very peaceful moment for me, as I felt a sure knowledge of our own eternal existence together, moving on forever, as well.

On Saturday, it was time to celebrate as a whole family! We went geocaching together for the first time and had such a fun time! The girls just loved it! They felt like Franklin on a treasure hunt!
