One year ago today, Heath asked me to be his wife. Looking back, it’s amazing really… it was just six weeks after our first date, and four months until our wedding. Were we crazy? Maybe. But I wouldn’t change a thing.
We found
out the saying is true: When you know, you know.
There
are many other things I know. Many things I know I’m thankful for. Today, I’m
incredibly thankful for my family. I’m thankful that Heath is now the first
person in my family. The one I’m most excited to see every day. The one I’m
thankful to spend the rest of my life with.
He is the man God gave me, and I wouldn’t change a thing.
I’m
thankful for my parents. I’m thankful for the example they have been; that in
the working out of their own faith, their relationship, and their love for
their family, they have been honest in the struggle and the pain.
I’m
thankful for my siblings. Those I grew up with and those I have gained. I’m
thankful for their friendship. I’m thankful for their creativity, their love,
their honesty, their uniqueness, and definitely for their sweet children!
I’m
thankful for our extended families. We have a strong heritage. A heritage of
faith, of love, of hardship, of strength, and a heritage of overcoming. We have
an abundance to be thankful for. That I know.
Is our
family perfect? No. But I wouldn’t change a thing.
