6 Years in the Making

Six years ago I said "I do" to the love of my life. Okay, so I didn't really say "I do." We were married in the LDS Salt Lake city temple. You don't really say "I do" in the temple. Anyways, six years ago, today, Rob and I were married. It was a day I had dreamed about for years and years. I think little girls start imagining their wedding day in utero.

I never thought I could be as happy as I was that day.

Fast forward 2 years, 3 months, and 6 days.

November 13, 2003. I go into labor in the late morning. Kate is born 12 1/2 hours later. The first time I saw her I cried. (Yes, I am a crier. All who know me are aware of this fact. I can't stop it. It just happens.) I was even happier this day, than I was on my wedding day.

I never thought I could be this happy as I was that day.

Fast forward 3 years, 5 months, 0 days, and one college graduation.

April 13th, 2006. Andie is born via c-section. Not the birth I had planned, yet still culminating with a healthy baby (and a healthy mom). Have you ever seen such a good looking guy? Rob never looked more handsome than holding the newest addition to our family that day. Can you see what a proud daddy he is?

I never thought I could be as happy as I was that day.

Fast forward 1 year, 3 months, and 25 days.

Today. Six years from the day our story began. I am happier today than I was yesterday. My love for my family grows more and more each day. Every day is better than the one before. It is amazing how much things change. I love Rob more than the day I married him. I love my children more today than the day they were born.
