6 Amazing Years

There are a few parallels between the relationship between my grandparents and the relationship between Eddie and I. We both met on blind dates. They used to go “necking” at the same place we got married. I look a lot like my grandma did when she was my age. This year they celebrated 60 years of being married and tomorrow we will celebrate six. When I look back I am amazed at how much Eddie and I have done and been through in the past six years. We have served in two churches, we moved from one side of the country to the other, we bought a house, we gave birth to two beautiful children, we decided to adopt, we went to Africa to get our precious baby girl, I could go on and on. I knew that I was marrying an amazing man, but I really had no idea how amazing. If I had to choose one word to describe our relationship, it would be really hard. But the word that keeps coming to mind is supportive. I have spent the past six years supporting him in his ministry, and now that I am starting my own business, he is doing everything in his power to support me. Since being in school, starting a business, volunteering for a non-profit, and raising three kids is a bit of a handful, he cooks dinner every night. I didn’t even have to ask him! He just did it. He is my sounding board, partner and my biggest fan. I can’t imagine doing everything that I’m doing without him by my side. I love you babe and when I think in awe about my grandparents being together for 60 years, I think about our next 54 years. I am so excited that we have only just begun.
