Four years ago today, this was the view that we were enjoying from our ocean view room in Cancun, Mexico. We were also watching the 2008 Olympics every night because even though we were on our honeymoon, the Olympics only happen every four years. :) Hello? Shawn Johnson killing it on the gymnastics floor, Michael Phelps winning a million gold medals. Yeah...you remember it!
Four years ago, we were still holding on to Sam's dad. While I refuse to remember him like this, this is Sam and his dad at our wedding. He had been feeling especially bad during the week before our wedding and had made plans on how to show him our wedding from a videocam, so he could stay home. Four years ago, God had us in mind when he gave Mr. Sam the energy to attend every bit of our wedding and reception. We are so stinking thankful that although we didn't have as long as we wanted with such a great man that he could come to the happiest day in our life.
Most importantly, four years ago we made the toughest and most important commitment there is to make. For the past four years, we have been through good times and bad, rich and poor times, sickness and health, and have loved and cherished each other every day. That's not to say that we have liked each other every day. That's not to say that this marriage has been a breeze. We would never pretend that it is easy; it's work and some days it's hard, but it is so worth it. For four years, I have woke up everyday with the love of my life next to me. We encourage and boost each other up whether it's needed or not. We also tell each other that we are being selfish and silly too! We aren't the perfect married couple, but we are pretty awesome if you ask me!
To many, many, many more years...I love you MORE Sammy Shrew!
