Two wonderful years

These last two years married to Brand have been the best two years of my life. Everyday I am reminded of how blessed I am to have married my best friend. As someone who has always been shy about who I am, it is truly beautiful to be with someone that I can be my complete self around all the time. I cannot express how much Brand has been an answer to prayers: both mine and my family. I am so thankful for my parents who began praying for Brand the moment I was born and who continued to pray for me and Brand long before they or even myself knew who Brand was.
So celebrating two years of marriage is not just about me and Brand. It is about the seeds God planted many years ago, the love He cultivated at just the right time, and the endless support from friends and family.
As we enter into our third year of marriage we are faced with heavy hearts as together we face a serious health problem in our family. As we have during our times of richer and poorer and sickness and health we lean on the Father that brought us together and holds us together. I am so blessed to have my best friend constantly by my side during this time of unknowing. To have my best friend hold me and sob with me on the kitchen floor. To have my best friend laugh hysterically with me at our unique sense of humor. To have my best friend pray when I can't speak. To be married to my best friend has been a true blessing and I cannot wait to spend many more years with him.

Brand, I love you more than you know. Everyday I will try my best to be the woman you deserve.
