Today Chris and I have been married for three years! They have been the happiest three years of my life. Every day I wake up continually grateful and humbled that I get to be married to such a fantastically brilliant and truly beautiful person. When Chris and I got married, that meant forever. To us marriage means working through times that may not be easy. Talking things through when all you want to do is shut down... it means choosing to love one another with each passing moment. The absolute joy of being married to your soulmate cannot be put into words... being with him gives me wings.
When I'm with him I feel alive, understood, unstoppable, confident, clear headed, free, excited, hopeful, strong, bold, selfless, loving, passionate... he makes me better. He is my yin and I am his yang. We fill in each others gaps. Where I am weak he is strong. I feel so completely thankful for him.
Every year we take a little overnight trip somewhere to celebrate or anny. For our first anniversary we went to Cannon Beach, OR and last year we went to Victoria, B.C. This year we are just going to hop in the car without a plan and see where we end up... kind of a "choose your own adventure" of sorts ;) It will be good for us to crawl out from behind our editing caves and go just be together and celebrate.

Congrats you two, from the bottom of my heart, CONGRATS. I love when 2 people find their soul mates and happily spend the rest of their lives together. 3 years is a great start on 50, and I can tell, even from the few interactions we've had, that you'll be just as happy 47 years from now as you are today, and that makes me smile. LOVE ALWAYS WINS.
Congrats to you both! So happy for you! Enjoy your adventure! :)
You guys are so awesome, congrats!!
I have had the urge lately to hit I-90, turn down some little unknown highway, and let it take me to whatever funny little Washington town I can find. I hope your guys stumble on something amazing! Happy 3 years!
So pumped for you guys!! You two seem so great!!
