Three Years

I love when we come upon little mile markers like this, as it gives me an excuse to be overly sentimental and nostalgic. I've been reflecting a lot lately on our relationship and (I know it sounds cheesy (and I know how you feel about cheesy)) I honestly love you more everyday. I admire you, I respect you, and I love you. You're my best friend, my lover, my number one support, my adventure buddy.

It seems like just a few weeks ago that we met. But at the same time, it's seems like we've always been together. Time before you is blurry sometimes. That first summer will always be one of the fondest times in my life. And it's strange looking back at it now, because we were both going through such hardship. We grew quickly in love regardless. I've never doubted what our relationship is capable of. We've both been all-in since the beginning, without a moment of hesitation.

The last three years, despite all we've been through, have been the best years yet. Because when I'm with you, the good always outweighs the bad. It's hard to not create happiness with you around. I can't wait for many many many more years.

If you're curious, Will and I decided to postpone our Anniversary Trip until next weekend as the weather is suppose to be a million times better. And we're wanting to spend time with family this weekend. It is Mother's Day, after all, and we have two wonderful mama's worth celebrating. Plus, this means I'll have my camera for the trip! In the mean time, you can flashback to our trip last year!

Have a great weekend, lovelies.

Snippets: Valentines and Stress

Life lately, according to iPhone pictures:
1. a couple of the valentines treats from my mom |  2. my favorite cuties, snuggling | 3. homemade heart-shaped kale pizza for dinner on Valentines Day | 4. pizza is love | 5. this place may be our backyard soon | 6. pretty sunset the other night | 7. we've had spring like weather lately; Pippin loves it and riding with the windows down | 8. a Pippin panic while Will filled up gas | 9. .... continued

The last couple of weeks have been a huge blur. There are a lot of transitions happening at once and it is all rather intimidating. We are going to be taking a few risks, because we have confidence they will be worth it, but that means my anxiety and stress has been at an all time high for a countless number of days. It is strange, when we come to points like this in our relationship where we are facing hardships and difficult decisions; they some how always bring us so incredibly close. I think it says a lot that when I'm worried, all I want to do is hold you. So, we had a very low key Valentines Day, in fact we spent all of it at home. We have been nonstop trouble-shooting and problem-solving lately, so we took a day off. We binge-watched a few episodes of the new season of House of Cards and I made us a pizza. It was a great refresh, and a great opportunity to brainstorm even more. I absolutely love simple moments like that, sharing our dreams with each other.

We're going to do great things together, darling. It may take some time, but oh I can feel it.
