The Whites: 3 Years

Dearest Andrew,

Welp, it's 2 weeks after our 3 year Anniversary - I wanted to write you this post before we went to bed the wednesday night on our anniversary, but you asked me not to spend the last bit of our anniversary on the computer, but to spend it cuddling on the couch with you and Addy instead...couldn't argue with that :)

3 Years. Can you believe it?

I love that we get to start off each New Year with an Anniversary, because right after we ring in the new year, we then get to celebrate another year of marriage! Clearly, SO much has happened in these past 3 years - from starting our Newlywed life in Wisconsin, to moving back home, starting new jobs, finding a new church, making new friends, moving 3 times since being back home (oy!), and most exciting of all...growing our little family with our precious baby girl :)

Hands down, my favorite moment of this past year was watching you become a Father, and meeting your baby girl for the very first time. You stared at her with such awe and amazement, and still do to this day. And that melts my heart. I thank God every day for bringing you into my life and for loving me so well, and now I also thank Him for giving our little girl such a wonderful Daddy who also loves her so well.

Life with you has been the biggest joy. Even when things get hard and we get on each others nerves, your always quick to forgive and make us both laugh and forget what we were even arguing about in the first place :) You put up with me and my occasional "brat-iness", and still manage to love me even though I make us late EVERYWHERE we go (and I know that's your biggest pet peeve!).

I also love that you find joy in the little things. Like pizza for our Anniversary dinner :)
