It's hard to believe how quickly 9 years have gone, but when you think about all that has happened in those 9 years, it is clear that we've made the most of every moment. I am beyond thankful for my marriage to Tyler and couldn't have asked for a better person to share this life with. In honor of 9 whole years, I'm going to list 9 of the reasons why I love life with him:
1. We look back and see all that God has blessed us with and know that no matter what He gives, our marriage is centered on Him. This is what allows us to take joy in every aspect of our lives together.
2. We are honest and real with each other, knowing that some days aren't always easy. Yet, even when we don't see eye to eye, we are good enough communicators that we work through it.
3. We willingly admit that our first years were tough, but it helped build an incredibly strong foundation. Getting married young isn't easy - especially when it involves the unity of two VERY strong willed and stubborn people!
4. We are a team. He's got my back and I've got his. This has been a huge help through some of the curve balls we've faced and it's especially helpful in raising three kids!
5. We are best friends and truly enjoy life together. We know the ins and outs of each other better than any other human on this planet and cherish the "realness" that exists within our friendship.
6. We laugh. We laugh a lot. We both know that we can't take things too seriously, and sometimes a good laugh is all you need!
7. We have established an insanely good "system" of life in our home. Everyone pulls their weight and we manage to end each day still feeling like we're ready to face the challenges of the next day.
8. We are similar in a lot of ways, but are still very different - and that definitely works in our favor!
9. We are still growing. Growing in our ability to put each other's needs above our own. Growing in our ability to communicate. Growing in our ability to forgive. Growing in our commitment that we made to God, to put our marriage above any other Earthly commitment we make.
