My second anniversary passed within the craziness of the holidays. Bryan and I marvel at how different we are from the people we were in our wedding pictures, yet at the same time how recent that seems. Being newlyweds was definitely fun, but I prefer the stable friendship that time has grown between us. On our wedding day, I was excited about what I thought my life with Bryan was going to be like...but now I am deeply happy about what it actually is. I am really looking forward to the future phases of our life: starting a family together, being middle aged with him...right now it I am so thankful to be sharing an apartment, starting a business, going to college, balancing a million things. Sometimes I drive him crazy, and sometimes it goes both ways...however at the end of the day theres really no one in the whole world that we'd rather be with to share everyday life. He is such a gift to me.
This picture is dedicated to my friend Ben since he and I weren't able to attend each others weddings. Lately we've been sad about missing those important days. A few months before me, he married his beautiful best friend Virginia in Arkansas.

Happy (belated) anniversary! That's such a cute picture.
That is such a beautiful picture! I'm glad that you've found some sense of balance. I've always worried about what would happen after the "big day," when real life sets in. I'm glad to see that it can be beautiful. :)
This is such an insightful description of the true beauty of marriage! I love the part where you talk about the "stable friendship that time has grown". The great thing is that as the days and years pass, that friendship will keep growing deeper and deeper.
I hope you'll keep writing like this. It helps me to see the beauty in things I tend to overlook.
Wonderful, Leah. This photo really captures who you both are. Blessings, friend.
