Blog a la Cart

Five years ago today that amazing man appeared at my childhood home in the wee hours of the morning. A pink Ring Pop in hand.

For those of you that know me (and my non-morning personality), you’ll understand why my initial reaction to his presence at 5:30 in the morning was, “What the hell are you doing here?” rather than something more appropriately sweet and loving.

He was there to ask me to spend the rest of my life with him. Something that I had planned on doing long before that morning of July 21st, 2007. In fact, right around week two of knowing one another we realized that we were in this relationship for the long haul. It just took us a little under four years to formalize the sentiment, and five to make it official.

And oh what an amazing thing began five years ago today, not the least of which is two beautiful little girls and a house full of crazy love.

James, Bebe, can I keep you? 143.

*It’s also wild to note that I began this blog exactly three years ago today. Pretty incredible how much has changed since that moment when, exhausted, alone, and sleep-deprived, I sat down at the computer with my 2 month old nursling and began writing. I’m so pleased that I haven’t stopped. This place brings me such joy and perspective. Thank you all for following along.
