Many Happy Returns
As of tomorrow Jamie and I will have been married for four years (depending from which wedding you count, we married each other 3 times but that is another story). I knew when I got married that it would be 'until death do us part'. However I never could have imagined all that we would do in four short years.
We have travelled the world together. In addition to being an international marriage (I'm an Aussie married to a Canadian/American), we are also missionaries and so get to see a lot of places, both together and apart. My favourite was definately showing Jamie my home and exploring it together. I don't think Jamie could totally understand me until he saw where I am from and the culture that helped make me who I am. Australia is an amazing country I strongly encourage visiting it.
We have started a YWAM base together- a ministry that, while always challenging, is something I love very much. I have never felt happier doing anything else. We have a great team and when I look at where we are going it is very exciting.
We have bought a house together- I never thought we would own a house this early in our marriage. And more importantly it feels like HOME. I wondered whether Canada would ever be home. I knew it was where I would be living, but that is very different to it being home.
We got a dog together. We love our Dino. Sure, we know he is not human, but he is as close to a baby as we have right now. He is full of character and personality.
And together we are looking to start a family, whether it is a biological child or an adopted one. While starting family a lot harder than we expected I know that when we finally have our baby it will be another journey that we get to go through together.
I know it is only four years and that is not long in the big picture, but I look forward to going into the next stage of our marriage together. Jamie, I love you more now than the day I married you.
