6 Year Anniversary!!

Wow! Time flies. Today marks 6 years since I married my amazing Husband.

We meet while we both were Active Duty in the military. Honestly it was a point, I think in both of our lives that we were done with the dating scene and decided when the time is right someone will come along. It’s amazing how when you sit back and be patient God makes things happen in your life.  A mutual friend introduced us and things were so busy in my life at that moment we didn’t get to even really talk or go on a date. I will never forget the day my friend called and said, “Vana, if you don’t call him I am not going to talk to you anymore, you need to call him now” So being  20yrs old and not having any other close friends I thought, geez I better call him. We talked on the phone for over an hour. I think that was one of the best things about our relationship and because of both our schedules at work sometimes we only seen each other once a week. So we spent a lot of time talking and getting to know each other before we started going on many dates.

After a year of dating he proposed to me on an early morning when I returned on a red eye flight from weeklong training in CA. Needless to say when I got off the plane I felt like I was hit by a bus and wasn’t quite with it mentally. We got home and he had rose petals leading the way to a teddy bear holding a present. In my completely over tired mind I simply thanked him for  getting me such a cute bear, not realizing I needed to open the present! Huge dork! Yes, that’s me! He looks at me and says, “Open it” The rest is history. We ended up getting married 9 months later.  A year and two months after that we had our 1st daughter and then almost 2yrs after that we had our 2^nd daughter.  

It has been an amazing 6 years and I love him just as much, if not more than the day we married. I’m very grateful for having such an amazing husband, friend, and father to our children in my life. I think God everyday for him and look forward to many more years growing old together. The song we danced to 6 years ago today still means just as much as it did back then. http://youtu.be/zS3MIWuMRhQ
