3 years??? How has it already been three years? It seems like no time at all. I guess time flies when you're having fun, huh?
In all seriousness, these have been three wonderful years. Yes, we've had our hardships. We've been through cross country moves, unemployment, financial difficulties, infertility, and the loss of my mother. We've had our struggles, as all people do. But in all honesty, having James by my side has made each of those things easier to deal with. We are a team - he and I against the world, and there's no one I'd rather have fighting my battles with me. Together we can get through anything! I firmly believe that.
I know we are still "newlyweds" in the eyes of many who have been married for much longer, but I feel as if I have learned so much in these last few years of marriage. I've learned a lot about who I am, the good and the bad, and who I want to become. I've learned how to sacrifice, and compromise, and love unconditionally (well, I'm still learning those lessons..and more, but I'm trying!). I've learned that I'm still learning, and will never be done. I've learned to enjoy the small and simple joys in life, as those are the memories I look back on most fondly.
I can't believe all that we have accomplished in three years! And having sweet Maddie in our family has only made it better. I love you, James. Here's to many, many more years together!
