Fifteen years ago I woke up for the last time as an unmarried girl. The day was cold, but there was a beautiful blanket of snow on the ground. All of the months of preparation came down to that day. I was going to get married and I felt like I was walking on air.
I spent the morning with my friends getting our hair done and getting makeovers. We arrived at the church and I was so excited to put on my beautiful wedding gown. I felt like a princess and sometimes can barely remember being that young girl of 21 who said “I do”.
This morning I awoke to my unborn baby kicking me and my two youngest boys tickling me. I fixed breakfast for everyone and have been working around the house.
My hair hasn’t been fixed and I am quite certain I don’t look like a princess at all. I had no idea what my life would be like today when I married my husband fifteen years ago.
However, I can’t imagine changing a thing. Yes, things could have been easier at various points, but we have the family we do and the life we have because of what has happened through the years.
I can’t imagine anyone I would rather have spent the past fifteen years with. I love you, JT. Happy Anniversary!
