Today We Celebrate!

Today we celebrate 2 years of marriage... What a sweet day it is. I'd love to take a moment just to brag on my husband, my best friend, my man!

He is the one who tucks me in at night and kisses me awake in the morning. The one who holds me through thick and thin. He is my encourager, my biggest fan, the most important person here on earth to me. He loves me when I'm quite unlovely and encourages me to be better than I am. He is the bright spot in my day and I look forward to the 4:30 bell just to know that within the next 10 minutes, the garage door will go up, the side door will open, and I will hear "Hey Baby, How was your Day?" I love that time of day. When no matter how frustrating, event filled, or boring my day was, everything seems right, because my partner is home.

Two years ago today, we said "I Do" and he whisked me away to the best week of my life. I thought I would share with you our vows... the words we said to each other 730 days ago and the words that still hold true today. I guess it doesn't seem like that long ago, and it's not, but the thing is... it seems like forever. I don't remember not being married to him, or coming home after work to an empty house and dinner by myself... it feels like we've always been together and I know we always will. Anyway! Enough mushiness... below are our vows that we wrote for our day. I love to look back at them and remember that day... it was beautiful and the most amazing day in my life. It was a day that I dreamed about for so long and finally God granted my desires to be a wife and to have a husband. I have no doubts that the first day we welcome a child into our home will be just as wonderful. And yet again, God will prove how Awesome He is and how His timing is PERFECT!

Our Vows- 6/14/08
I love you (Heath/Lisa). You are my best friend. As I marry you, I make this lifelong and unchanging commitment to know and love God and to know and love you. I promise to encourage you, to inspire you, to laugh with you and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle. I promise to love you in good times and bad, when life seems easy and when it seems hard, when our love is simple and when it is an effort. I promise to cherish you, respect you, prize you above all others and remain faithful to you as long as we both shall live.
