6 years . . .

Hunkahubby and I have been married 6 years today. I can't believe the time has gone so fast. We have been through so much in the past six years and I know, without a doubt, that we would not have made it this far if our marriage was not built on the strong foundation of our faith.

There have been times where I'm sure that both of us wanted to give up, but we didn't, because we had pledged our lives to each other in front of our family, friends and God . . . and we found a Way to make it through the hard times, together.

I'm so blessed to have found someone who loves God above all else and strives to be a good husband and good Daddy - and lets me be who I am. When I was younger - I was known for dating 'the underdog' or 'the bad boy' or just the ones who people could not understand. The thing was - in every one of those relationships, I changed myself to try and make them like me more. I was never myself. With Hunkahubby - I was myself from the very beginning - and that is how I knew it was right.

Following are the lyrics to the song that my cousin Katie sang at our wedding and it still holds true today.



If you could see what I see . . . by Geoff Moore

all of my life
I have dreamed
that someday love would find me
now I can't believe you're standing here

If beauty is all
in the eye
of the beholder then I
wish you could see
the love for you that lives in me

And you would know you have my heart
If you could see what I see
that a treasure's what you are
if you could see what I see
Created to be
the only one for me
If you could see what I see

I know there are days
when you feel
so much less than ideal
wondering what I see in you

It's all of the light
and the grace
your belief in me drives me to say
that I promise you
a faithful love, forever true

And you would know you have my heart
If you could see what I see
that a treasure's what you are
if you could see what I see
Created to be
the only one for me

if you could see...
then you'd understand
why I fall down on my knees
and I pray my love
will be worthy of
the One who gave His life
so our love could be

if you could see
what I see

Created to be
The only one for me
If you could see
What I see

if beauty is all
in the eye
of the beholder then I
am beholding...
true beauty

I love you Hunkahubby - thanks for the past 6 years, I'm looking forward to the next 6!

"Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in His hand
Who saith "A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!"
-Robert Browning
