I sat down to write this blog post a couple days before Thanksgiving — because, let’s face it, a Thanksgiving Day blog post feels kinda obligatory.

Five years of marriage have gone by so quickly. It feels as if I took a breath on that crisp afternoon when we got married, and by the time I exhaled, here we are: Five years farther into our lives, into this adventure, into learning each other so deeply, so profoundly.

One week ago at this moment, I was on a hillside in Georgia, surrounded by some of the most beautiful hearts I’ve ever been blessed to know.

Does anyone else have the same feeling I have — that it was April, you blinked, and now you’re staring down the last days of summer?!Some people dread the end of summer, but here in Florida, as soon as the calendar says spring is officially over, I pretty much start counting down the days until […]
