B and I got married reaallll young, I mean really young. Brandon was right outtta college, and I was freshly 20, just a couple months removed from my teen yrs (loolllllll). WILD RIGHT ! !
I remember feelin soooo old, soooo stoked and soooo ready to be MARRIED. Lots of ppl asked me “why so young” … “you don’t even know who you are yet”. I just laughed them off, smiled and said, “hey, when you know, you know, ya know?!!” 🤩
I was (AND STILL AM) so in love with and amazed by Brandon Eaves in so many ways. DANG I was stoked (AND STILL AM) to do life together. To grow up and to grow old together.
I remember during our ceremony my Dads charge to us to do whatever Jesus commands, just as the servants did at the Wedding of Cana, and that our marriage, and love for one another would be much like the wine at the the Wedding of Cana, only getting sweeter, and better with time. I remember in that moment thinking “but HOW, that’s impossible, my love for him is already SOOO GREAT”.
Oh you silllyyyyyy gal.
Shoulda known my dad would be right.
Here we are FIVE YRS (and some change) later and by the grace of God it’s soooo TRUE. Brandon Eaves, marriage with you has only gotten sweeter and my love for you only runs deeper, deeper than I would have ever imagined.
I’m confident that one of the greatest parts of marriage is getting to do daily life together with your best friend, seeking to honor The Lord each step of the way and striving to do what He (the Lord) says. Along the way there has been countless joys, abundant blessings, painful sufferings, tip top mountain tops, deep valleys, horrific losses and indescribable victories. But the greatest news is through it all, we have the HOPE of Christ and the gift of doing life for His glory together.
I wouldn’t have dreamed the last 5yrs would consist of what they have + there’s not a thing I would change. Seeing the lord grow us, mature us, refine us, shower grace over us, bless us, take from us, sanctify us and be our steadfast hope has been the greatest experience.
So here’s to many many many many more yrs of growing up + getting old together through the good, bad and ugly. Forever my love 💛
