Seven Years

On this day seven years ago, Erik and I pledged our lives and love to one another. It's been a wonderful journey, and I continue to give thanks to God for bringing these two wanderers together. As time goes on I see more and more how He was preparing us for each other, and for the life that He would give us. While our life is very different than how I thought it would be, it's more beautiful and blessed than I could have imagined. We've had many adventures, a few trials, some tears, lots of laughter and joy, and a few kids. I wonder what the next year will bring, and I look forward to each day we've been given.

And here's a random tidbit, just for fun: when Erik asked me to marry him, my response was "Really?" Here you can read the whole story of how we met and the surprising proposal.
