8 Years!

8 years ago today I stood in front of friends, family and my Creator and committed to love Sarah until my dying breath.  What an 8 years it has been!

We’ve made so many memories and had so many laughs.  We’ve traveled and we’ve been happy just relaxing at home. 

It has been my greatest joy, however, to see Sarah become a mother.  To see her grow from the 20 year old I married into a mature woman, seeking after God’s will in her life.  To see her love poured out on Caleb and the patience she has developed with him.  Yes, we’ve been married 8 years, yes “We’re old” as she says, but she is more beautiful to me than she was when we started dating in High School, more beautiful than she was when I asked her to marry me on the boardwalk in Ocean City, and more beautiful than when we were married those 8 years ago.  We have many more years to go and I’m sure she will continue to grow in beauty even as we age. 

Sarah,

I love you from the depths of my heart and can’t wait to see what the future brings. 

P.S. I used beautiful in the above blog post as a term that reflects Sarah’s outward and inward beauty but just for clarification…she’s also still smokin’ hot!
