4 Years

There are so many ways I could go about praising God in this post for the innumerable blessings he has given Stephen and I over the course of our marriage. It has only been 4 years and yet I feel like we have always been married and that our children have always existed. Growing in love and life with Stephen has been the most natural and joyous experience, and I am reminded every day that our story is divinely orchestrated to be just as it is. I wanted to wait until today to post our maternity shoot because I think Kailyn and my dad did an amazing job at capturing our little growing family out here on the North Fork. Stephen says all the time that we are merely stewards of this patch of earth and caretakers for these children God has blessed us with. While these responsibilities are our highest calling, there is a peace and gratitude that comes when I realize that our adventure is not only in our hands. I welcome each phase and cherish the memories we make along the way.

Stephen, thank you for the love, care, and devotion you give to all aspects of your life, and thank you especially for the honor of letting me care for you back and be your helpmate through it all. You are my perfect soulmate and I am so happy and content wherever and whenever we are together. Happy Anniversary, my forever guy. <3
