>On Our Anniversary

>

Seven years ago tomorrow, I married this sweet, funny, infuriating, intense, loyal, opinionated, creative, loving, bombastic, romantic, amazing man.

I consider it a miracle that today, despite the presence of two small children and two teenagers and two stressful careers, we are closer than we’ve ever been before. We are having more fun than we’ve ever had before.

My husband is my best friend, my most ardent supporter, my right hand man, my leader, my follower, and my one true love. All of my very best memories are with him. I couldn’t have chosen a better husband, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t. Because God has a history of surprising me like that, leading me into uncharted, undreamed-of territory over and over again.

And God’s plans always end up being so much better and brighter than mine. My marriage is a prime example.

Around this time of year, I find myself looking back over the eight years I’ve known Hubs and marveling that every single year, our relationship grows better, stronger, and more exciting. I feel like the luckiest woman alive.

Thank you, Hubs, for being you. And for choosing me, despite all my many flaws.

I love you with all my heart.

Coincidentally, Her Nashville Magazine has an anniversary theme this month. I wrote more about our marriage in Scotland and our botched history of anniversary celebrations over there. Be sure and check it out, and please wish us luck that our anniversary plans this weekend actually work out! I’ll tell you all about them next week.
