I Married Mr. Right

This post is a few days late! Chad and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary Friday!  We really celebrated last weekend but, it was officially Friday! We decided we would really be celebrating our anniversary in Mexico in August with some of our favorite friends who are always fun to celebrate with!The story starts with our worlds colliding shortly after I graduated college and he was still finishing up. We were engaged eight months after officially meeting and married eight months later.  I knew I had met Mr. Right and looking back I had no clue how perfect he really was for me! Our love for each other has grown and blossomed so much.  I couldn't imagine getting along with or enjoying anyone else's time more than I do with Chad! We took full advantage of that first year of marriage by spending a lot of time just enjoying each other. We didn't have a lot of friends in the area so, we did everything together and loved it!  One day shy of our first anniversary we were surprised by finding out we were going to have a baby!  Baby Harry came in December and meshed perfectly into our little family!Harry, Chad and I had so much fun together. We spent three years exposing Harry to everything we could! We did a lot of traveling and lots of time laughing at just him! He was the center of our world!  October 2009 came and so did Miss Georgia Kelley!Our five years have been busy!Although most of our time is spent doing this:.
We cherish every moment we have one on one!  We love reading, walking, traveling, going to the movies, and talking over quiet dinners! These times are not as often as we would like but, they are valued when they are.  We do not like to shop, do yard work, or budget together! We do them sometimes together but, it isn't very much fun to one or the other:) I had to put that in there!  I truly believe that a blessing is that God is with us! It is not all the stuff we have or things we get to do that other people don't! It is that God is with us!  God has blessed our marriage by showing us how growing closer to Him can strengthen a family. He has showed us that depending on him fiscally and emotionally will be rewarded.  He has also blessed us through hard times and I strongly believe that He will bless us through all the hard times that are to come. 
I am so thankful for my Mr. Right! He is the most patient man I know and I LOVE to be with him all the time!  I wish this post could be longer but, I am lucky to even get to it now because we have been super busy and I don't know if it is "blessing" or not!
