Today marks 3 years of marriage for me and Roscoe. I am so proud of the union we have built and the friendship that we have. Our partnership is such a labor of love and dedication. We work hard at it, and have developed a foundation we can both cherish.
Actually, it was four years ago today that I sat nervously on the phone with him. Neither of us knew what was really happening between us. We instantly had an undeniable bond that was bigger than the 1500 plus miles between us. While we had not yet met face to face, I fell in love with him and felt my life with him was going to be something special. That night, we said I love you for the first time. Once those words came out, we joyfully never went back. Exactly a year later, we each got ready for one of the biggest days of our lives. I woke up in the wee hours of the morning. I could not wrap my head around everything that was happening. I just knew I was marrying the love of my life.
All the years of praying, walking away from bad relationships, and believing the promise of God was coming full circle. In Roscoe's eyes, I see how important our sacrifices were. Everyday since then has been a journey of growth, learning, patience and unconditional love. Through the amazingly incredible times, and the tough times, we found ourselves falling deeper in love each day. There is no one else I would rather grow through life with.
Now, we are 4 months away from the arrival of our baby boy. There aren't any words to accurately express how much starting a family means to us. It is truly a gift from God and the continuation of dreams fulfilled. I woke up this morning with such joy in my heart. I looked over at him, feeling blessed to be his wife and companion. Where ever life may take us there is one thing I know - it is a joy to walk hand-in-hand with him.
Happy third Anniversary of Marriage and fourth Anniversary of Courtship.
