Anniversary

My husband and I decided to take a long weekend and escape to Portsmouth, NH to celebrate our 2-year wedding anniversary a weekend late.  This is our second time up here and each time we come I get this wonderful feeling of being both far from home and still in the comforts of New England.

Just two years doesn't seem very long, but we both talked over lunch at the Portsmouth Brewery how we couldn't remember a time of not being together. My 4 years spent in Clemson, SC - some of the most defining years of my life up to this point- seem like a different life completely. We've been together over four years total and the experiences we've shared during this time seem like decades of lessons wrapped up in just four brief years. From losing my father to welcoming my nephew into the world to getting married and now expecting our own son in just 3 months, to say our lives have been a whirlwind is an understatement.

And looking back, I can't imagine sharing this life with anyone else. We have our days where we disagree and we have our days where we never want to be apart. We share goals and dreams while still having our own desires and hopes that make us the individuals we are.

Entering this next phase in our lives, I have no doubts that my husband will make the transition from husband to father seamlessly and I can't wait to see that moment.

He is my best friend, my source of joy, encouragement, and comfort and I wouldn't change a thing about this beautiful life together.
