A Dozen Years And Looking Forward

Jacob and I celebrate 12 years of marriage today!  In a sense, it seems only natural as we have always been a part of each other’s lives, yet since our relationship was formed when we were so young, it seems astounding that 12 years of marriage is possible.  Has that much time really passed?  It has been a year to deepen our bond through daily challenges and I’m proud of the ways our relationship has grown since our last anniversary. 

Jacob has always been my love.  From a young age I saw unique talents and great character.  I’m happy to say he has proved me right!  It has been such a blessing to share my entire adulthood with him and develop as individuals together.  We’ve formed a life I cherish and we’ve been so blessed along the way.

I asked Jacob what he’d say if he was to contribute to this post :)  He said that despite what frustrations he faces in the daily grind (he has had a particularly difficult several weeks), when he gets home, it is his life with his wife and kids that is what matters and what is good in the end.  I’m so comforted by knowing and seeing how devoted he is to his family.

Our thirteenth year seems it may be shaping into a big one!
