Love

Kim here. Matt does not know that I am posting this, but I have decided that I need to. Tomorrow is our 5th anniversary. Matt is currently on his way to a town 3 hours from our home so that he will be there on time tomorrow for his interview. This has been a tough year and a half for our little family. Matt has been through 3 jobs and is currently unemployed. Throughout all our discouragements, disappointments, changes, and moves he has been my rock, my comforter, and my example of patience, forgiveness, and endurance. I think he is amazing for his efforts, when giving up would be so much easier.
     The picture I posted above was taken for our engagement a little over 5 years ago, and when I look back at that day, I realize that in a way he was a stranger to me. We were in love and wanted to be married forever so we must have had some idea that we could tolerate one-another for eternity, but now when I think of our relationship and how our love has developed, and transformed, it is unrecognizable in comparison. I love him wholeheartedly, I am more than blessed to be married to him. I just had to tell you.
