Committment

Scott and I will have been married for seven years this coming Sunday! It's hard to believe that seven years have gone by so quickly. We have both grown and changed so much, both as individuals and as a couple, but one thing that hasn't changed is our love for each other.

Maybe I should say it has changed, but only for the better. I know that we love each other more now than we did that hot May evening in 2000. We have gotten to know one another better and that has deepened our bond. We were blessed to spend almost five years just with each other, being able to do a lot of things that we couldn't have if we'd had had children. But then in 2005, 17 days short of our 5th anniversary, we welcomed into our lives the biggest blessing we've had to date--Will. And this summer, we'll be welcoming another precious blessing--Claire (yes, that's what we're naming her!).

Our marriage isn't perfect. We're still young and still face challenges almost daily, but we're committed to working through those challenges together. That's what marriage is about--you must work together to create happiness and good things. I love you, Scott! Happy 7th Anniversary!
