Four Down, Infinity to Go!



Happy Anniversary to Us!  Four years seems to have flown by.  I was reliving our wedding day this morning when I woke up and remembered how I'd woken up later than I'd wanted to that day, how my hair wasn't what I really wanted, how I missed McDonald's breakfast by 3 minutes...  Seems pretty lame now, but I was quite upset about all of the above that day (I know, you're thinking 'seriously?!').  I listen to people talk about their weddings and how perfectly they went and all the super long details that come with it, and I think about how much stress I focused on in that time and how I wish I hadn't.  Everything finally came together and was joyful and carefree for me when the actual ceremony started.  I think I was just ready to finally be married to my wonderful husband.  The details weren't as important, just being united with the one I love... forever.

I love being married to Andrew.  He is not perfect (nor am I obviously), but we are perfect for each other.  Even in the midst of lengthy arguments and crabby days, we are happy.  I think know the common misconception in marriage is that you stay in love (read: walk around star-gazed) and that it requires no work...  how very, very untrue.  I thank my husband for working at loving me, even when I'm not lovable (I know, hard to believe--haha).  To end my super-duper, mushy, I-love-Andrew post here are just a few reasons I love my husband...

*He is a wonderful spiritual leader who seeks to follow God whole-heartedly.

*He is an extremely hard worker and provides for his family in all ways.

*He is an unbelievably awesome Daddy to Amelia and soon to Baby B as well.

*He loves me and refuses to let anything separate us.







**By the way, there was a ton of greatness to our wedding and many, many things I loved about it, so I hope I didn't portray it as being something that was not fun or happy.  I do look back on it with fond memories!**

Congratulations, Sondra and Andrew! You are so lucky to have each other... You're so adorable together-Ameilia and Baby Boy Samp are extremely fortunate to have you for parents.

When talking about the two of you as a couple, I often messed up your names. You're a wonderfully united couple and deserve my accidental nicknames..What God has joined, let no one separate (not even by name):Sondrew and Andra!

Miss you both! Happy Anniversary!

Favorite photo = one of you two looking at each other.

No one's wedding is perfect, silly! The ones who say it was are just better liars. I personally am now a huge fan of purple orchids, by the way. :)

Happy anniversary to a wonderful couple. PS, I remembered it without any reminders from facebook or your blog. Which is extremely good for me.

Love...
