a thousand thanks | the luckiest

15 years.

oh, how we’ve changed. and changed each other.

on that cloudy may day, we didn’t know who we were. or the kind of courage our journey of becoming would demand.

we soon discovered marriage requires a daily discipline of being present for each other — which, it turns out, is so much more than just a nod.

for thousands of mornings now, we’ve shown up. devoted to doing better. dedicated to honest conversations. and determined to splash around in hope. there’s always a little somewhere, right?

and by showing up for each other, we threw enough light into our own dark corners that we’ve discovered ourselves more fully.

sure, our young hearts are tattooed with both enthusiasms + disappointments.

but when i think about how stories shape our lives, mine feel steeped in LOVE.

because the best ones i carry always come back to us. our lovelies. and the gorgeous chaos we make together.

and i do feel the luckiest. every time.

because that choice so many years ago turned out to be the perfect way to spend my life.
