Holding Hands in the Dark

At our house, celebrating three years of marriage (yesterday) looked a little something like this:

sharing early morning coffee by the fire
creating lists of all the things we love about each other
sweet, handmade notes left for the other to find
(my absolute favorite): hubby 'decorated' the house with baby pumpkins! for those who know him, you understand why this may have made my entire month:)
delicious red wine +  reminiscing about our early days
homemade dinner enjoyed by candlelight
holding hands, always

I was reminded yesterday just how easy it is to love one another when the water is calm and the sun is shining...and how much it can feel like work when the downpour comes -the ship may be sinking, and you've forgotten your raincoat. And life-vest.  I'm so comforted that through all of the bumps and the scary unknown, I can always find his hand in the darkness. <3

Sending so much love to you, friends. Today + always.
