House of Grayce: 9 Years and Counting...

May 7, 2005...the day our married life began! What fun it's been!! We seriously just stared at one another tonight, partly in disbelief that it's been 9 years and partly just amazed at just how fun it's been! The two of us have been together a long time...at 15 years old, I couldn't have even begun to imagine what was in store. What an amazing love. What an amazing life. What an amazing man, and he's all mine! ;)

Marriage for us is a lifetime commitment. Sure! We have our days, we all do, but 9 years later and I can honestly say the love grows. Everyday. Watching him be a father and watching him work with such dedication, all for us...I don't deserve such a man, but God chose me! Me! To be his wife, his life partner! To have this family! And I am so so thankful He did!

The past nine years have been full of unexpected blessings, turns, opportunities, and excitement. There have been times we have had to adjust the sails and go another direction. But it's been an amazing experience and I really look forward to what's ahead. God only knows the blessings, challenges and excitement that's before us...and it's those moments that God is right in the middle of. I see God working in the busy times, in the quiet times, and in the fun times. I see Him shining through in that wonderful man and father that I have the privilege of living life with! I see Him and I know. God is good. All the time. Thank you, Lord, for guiding us to where we are, and with You, may we continue on growing, changing and living this life with one another! So here's to many many more! Happy anniversary to the love of my life and thank you for doing this with me!! <3

I had to do some reminiscing last night! I thought it was fun to compare the pictures through the years! So here's the countdown! ;)
