9 years.

Today Craig and I have been together for….

284,012,334 seconds
4,733,538 minutes
78,892 hours
3,287 days
108 months

9 years.


That’s over 1/3 of my life!
And I’ve loved every minute of it :).

Craig:
I am so thankful that my disdain for you turned into a love so big sometimes I can’t even believe it’s real.  You are my real-life Mr. Darcy (seriously…here’s our love story if you don’t believe me).  I thought you were “the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.”, but now I know that you are the only man in the world who could really and truly make me happy.  You get me.  You love me as I am, but always continue to encourage me to be better.  You challenge me and keep me on my toes.  You make my life fun.  I am so blessed by you each and every day.

Thanks for making my life an adventure husband!
