Happy Anniversary

It's our anniversary today and we're very excited to be turning three! That's right, we've been together for three years through thick and thin, good and bad. It's been a wonderful experience to watch our relationship evolve over the years and it's exciting to think of the years ahead. Emma is the crowning achievement of our marriage and we love to have her in our home. We took some time bringing her into the world, trying to tackle all the economical and social issues newlywed's face, but we don't regret having her with us at this time and in this place in our lives. We'd be remiss not to thank those who have helped us to get on our feet and start a new chapter in our marriage, as well as those who support us as we forge new bonds with our little family.

I'm sure there were many who balked at our short courtship (a little under four months) but supported us anyway. I hope that the strength of our relationship stands as a great reward to those who had faith in us. We knew from the beginning that our union was ordained and we have seen evidence of that routinely though the past three years as we have fought challenges and celebrated accomplishments.

I love Hannah very much and I am continually reminded of the fortunate circumstances I find myself in to have such a wonderful woman by my side. I'm sure Hannah has similar feelings. If she weren't in Bakersfield today taking a hit in order to support our family, she'd be sharing those thoughts with you. Until she can, we'll say thank you again to those who brought us together, supported our marriage, befriended our family and share their love with us.
