6 Years

It was or 6th year anniversary this past August 18th.  There's two quotes that I love that pretty much sums up our marriage to me.  

"I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it."  -Mae West

"We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us."  -Joseph Campbell

I feel like when I got married, I knew there would be good times and bad times.  I knew having kids thrown in to the mix would be tough at times.  I knew that to stay together you had to grow together and in the same direction.  I just never knew how easy it was to get off track.  Balancing work, kids, and couple time is a lot harder than I ever expected.  I also feel like I've grown more as a person this past year.  Brady has definitely taught me a lot!  He's really shown me how to respect myself.  How to stand up for myself.  I really cannot believe how much you can grow to love your spouse.  He really is my best friend.  I feel like I couldn't be life's journey without him.  There is a reason we found each other and that life worked out the way that it did.
