Well, 4 years ago today, Christian and I were married. It was such an amazing day, it's so hard to believe it was 4 years ago already. It's even harder to believe how much life has changed in those 4 years. Good, bad, easy, hard, fights, love, arguments, laughter. So many amazing memories, already made. Buying our first home, having our girls, struggling (like most of America) to live paycheck by paycheck, yet provide the best for our girls. Friendships lost as priorities shift, yet amazing friendships formed because of those changes. I think with every bit of bad, we get double that in good, strange as that may sound.
In the end, while it seems like just yesterday I was walking down that aisle to my groom, that day, that couple, that life, seems like a lifetime ago. Sometimes I look back and wish that we would have enjoyed our married life, just the two of us, for a while. But, then I see our amazing creations, and I know that I would not have it any other way.
In reality, today was just another day really. Work is getting crazy again, but I'm doing the best that I can to stay ahead of things a little bit. A local radio station, KS95, sponsored a State Employee appreciation lunch today on the Capital grounds, so a bunch of us stopped to check it out. We got free lunch from Subway, and they had a few games to play. I ended up winning a $25.00 gift card to a local restaurant in one of those blowing money catching games, which was pretty cool.
After work, I washed some dishes, cleaned up the kitchen and made dinner. The rest of the house arrived home just in time to eat, hang out for a bit and head to bed. Some celebration!! LOL
Here are some pictures, celebrating the biggest accomplishments in our relationship. Our wedding, 9/22/07, buying our first house, 11/15/07, the birth of Olivia, 1/2/09, and the birth of Amelia, 7/26/11. With each step, we become that much more complete.
