In my short 25 (almost 26) years of living, I have never been less than amazed at all of the blessings that seem to be put at my feet. One of the biggest blessings has been my husband. It’s funny b/c we’ve been together for nearly a decade. Wow…that’s kind of scary to type and actually read out loud! I have this warm-fuzzy memory of times together when we were first dating. He’d pick me up in his Geo Tracker with 12inch subs in the back and off we’d go. I’ll never forget the roof of that car actually flexing in the wind while we were driving down 370 one day…I literally thought the whole roof was going to cave in on us. We shared our first kiss in my parents’ front yard. Learned to drive cars together, graduated high school together, started college together. We’ve been there for first jobs, first life let downs and so many other things.
When he proposed to me, we were just barely in our 20’s. Some people thought we were crazy. Some people thought it was just what would always happen. Jeremy and Jessie would get married! I’ll never forget how intent he was at making the night perfect for me. What he didn’t realize was that the imperfections of it all are what made the night so special…and so classically Jer. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Something about a man crying in your lap because he was so afraid you’d be disappointed with the way the night went has to melt your heart a little bit! I knew my heart was safe in his hands and that he would take care of me no matter what. After the engagement we went about making plans for a future together. He and I always have seen eye to eye on one major thing. We knew our lives were meant to be together. Whatever that meant.
So we set about fulfilling some goals that we thought would be good for our future! We bought our first house, got our first big kid jobs, supported each other through school, and planned our wedding day! Oh our wedding was one crazy, amazing day. It was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. He looked amazing in his tux. I felt like a princess. The weather couldn’t have been any better. We were surrounded by close friends and family all day long and after the ceremony we danced out tails off at our reception. I could not have asked for better memories! I wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over again. Ha! I say that now...nearly 3 years later!
In the 3 years since then we’ve managed to make our humble little house into a beautiful home. We’ve taken some amazing vacations to places I’ll never forget. We hope to travel more and experience all the fabulous things God has in store for us. We’re proud of the life we’ve built and the adventures we’ve taken on!
And that is why I’m most excited about our newest adventure! On March 25th the newest little Linley should be making his OR her grand entrance into our lives! We’re so excited about it we could bust! We had our first appointment on September 2nd. I was nearly 11 weeks along and we heard the heartbeat! We’re still on the fence about finding out what we’re having. I don’t want to know and Jer does. We’re making plans for our nursery and all the big changes a baby means for us. And we could not be happier!! Keep an eye out for updates on our blog. I plan to keep everyone posted on our progress!
