How We Came To Be

James and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary this past weekend. My sister, Maggie, called to wish us a happy anniversary and she asked me if it felt like it'd been 2 years. On the one hand, I can remember our wedding day like it was yesterday. Many people tell you the day flies by in a blur. This wasn't the case for me. I have very vivid memories about the entire day...memories I hope I'm able to hold onto as I age and become (even more) grey-haired.

On the other hand, I feel like James and I have always been together. We started dating almost 8 years ago when I was just 19. Life before him was...different and I guess kind of insignificant.

After dating for 2.5 years, we moved in together. We lived together for 2.5 more years before he proposed. We had a fairly short engagement...just 7 months, though it was plenty long enough for us. We got married July 4, 2009 - two years ago yesterday. Life has been good to us. We have since found, purchased, and moved in to a beautiful house that we are quickly making "our home".

Yes, children are in our future. As to how soon that happens, you will just have to wait and see! In the meantime, we are very happy to be fur-parents.

I wouldn't change any of it!
