...ten...

Has it really been ten years?  

Since we walked down the aisle, hand in hand for the first time...husband and wife?

Nine...since we celebrated our first anniversary?

In Wilmington...and then France :)

Eight...since we counted down only 5 more months of just the two of us?

Seven...since we were just a family of three, realizing just how much we could love this little girl.

Falling in love again as we watched each other as parents.

Six...since we'd made our move to Texas...and looked forward to a baby boy. Wondered if it was possible to love another as much as we loved Hadleigh.

Five...happy...enjoying one another and our two little blessings.  Delighting in the difference between little girls and little boys. 

Four...anticipating another move, a new state, another sweet baby, building plans. Lots of changes on the horizon.

Three...since knowing our family was complete. Adjusting to a new stage of life. A new place in life.

(And thankful to be in our new home...finally...by our anniversary!)

Two...beginning the journey of homeschooling. Making date nights happen more frequently. Having fun together...just the two of us and as a family.

One...since our life in OK seemed more settled...and invested...and full. 

What a timeline.

So much has changed since that first day.

But then, so much is the same...and even better.

I love you, Brent. So very, very much.
