Four years ago I put
on ma weddin' dress and walked down the aisle in a little church in West
Lafayette.
I took Michael's arm, we sang songs of praise to the Lord,
Michael wiped a tear from my cheek, and we kissed for the first time as
husband and wife. It was a beautiful day full of friends, family,
pictures, and peonies. Some of my favorite things in the whole world!
So much has happened since then. We've changed jobs, we've changed
towns, we've lived in 4 different apartments/homes. But one thing
remains the same, I love this guy more every day. He's "my top
best friend," as I told him the other day. He leads me spiritually, he
makes me laugh, he teaches me things I didn't even know I was
interested in learning. He forgives me when I'm forgetful (which
is often) and he does more than his fair share of the yard work...
because I hate it. He is the better half and I thank the Lord for him in my life.
I love that writing this blog post allows me the chance to brag
about my husband. It is such an important part of a healthy marriage, I
think. To make sure everybody that knows me, knows how much I think of
my husband! And I think a lot of him!
I also love that it is a time for the both of us to reflect on this past year and reminisce about where we have been and what we have been up to...Who we have hung with and how we have celebrated. So here goes!.. Here are the highlights of our 4th year as husband and wife!

Other Snapshots to Remember:
It is exciting to think that we are embarking on our 5th year. I'm an optimistic dreamer, so I get excited about thinking about what's ahead. What will this year of marriage bring? If it's anything like the last 4 years, it will bring days full of laughter, love, forgiveness, and memories with my (top) best friend by my side. What more could a girl want?If you are interested, here are the highlights from last year's anniversary post.
So how do you celebrate an anniversary? What makes your spouse the better half? Do you have a favorite memory looking back over the year?
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
