5.7.05


It was a fun morning to wake up to anniversary memories. With thunder rolling in the distance and raining heavily falling to the ground, I was able to lay in bed and reminisce over the past three years of being Mrs. Ingram.
What a ride it has been (some pun intended)!  From the threshold of our first apartment to the nurseries in our current home, our journey has been action packed and full of love. 


We've owned 2 homes, moved 5 times, spent 6 months my in-laws, and loved it all. 
I've been pregnant for almost 2/3 of our marriage. 
I have spent all but 3 months of the past three years either pregnant or nursing. 
On our first anniversary, we had a 3 week old.
On our second anniversary, I was 20 weeks pregnant. 
On our third anniversary, we have an energetic two year old and a giggly 7 1/2 month old. And no changes in the near future :)

My favorite things about being married are:
-having someone come home at the end of each day
-getting to pick up the phone any time of the day just to call and say hi
-sharing things. our closet, bathroom shelves, loofas, toothpaste
-lounging in his large, comfortable t-shirts
-mail that has both of our names on it
-carrying his last name
-having his babies
-watching him mow the lawn
-knowing the no matter what time it is, if I use my sweet voice, he will get out of bed to get me a drink of water
-watching my husband be a daddy
-learning to balance finances together
-having someone to cook breakfast for 
-having someone make me coffee
-knowing his s.s. number
-being told dinner was so great
-taking walks
-talking in bed till wee hours of the morning
-getting a goodbye kiss on the forehead each morning while I lay sleeping


These are simple and silly, yet they are great delights in my marriage. 

So many of you know what it is like to be married to a godly, loving, strong, humble man.  It's so important for me not to forget the gift I have been given in my husband. The petty things don't matter. Loving my husband does.

Happy Anniversary My Love!
