Four Year Anniversary

We are coming up on our 4th wedding anniversary next month. Part of me says, holy cow, has it been 4 years!? And the other part says, it's only been 4 years?

 The last few years have been eventful to say the least. I think it's fair to say that Danny and I have lived a lot of "life" over those years. We've had some incredibly good times and some incredibly painful times. Those years have brought us love, laughter, life and death. Joyful "hello's" and heartbreaking "goodbyes". 

There were times in some of my darkest moments where I thought this isn't what I signed up for when I got married. Didn't I sign up for the fairy tale? The blissful moments of being in love and living happily ever after? It hasn't quite gone that way. And yet, it has made us stronger. Those deepest, darkest moments that we have faced, those are the ones when I knew that God had brought me Danny for a reason. He knew I would need someone patient and kind and strong to get me through the trials ahead. Someone to take care of me, but also allow me to stand on my own. Danny has been my rock and my support when I didn't think I could take one more step. He is the one I was meant to face this life alongside. We don't know what else this life will bring us, but I hope we have many, many more years together.
