We are now 3 years old...

Jessica and I celebrated three years of marriage today and it has been the most exciting and wonderful three years of our lives. I can't begin to imagine my life without Jessica. She provides me with so much support, encouragement, love and laughter. We both absolutely love being married and we are so excited for what the future holds for us.

A few days ago I overheard two girls, probably 19-21, talking about marriage. One of them said "I like the idea of common-law because so many marriages end in divorce, I don't want that to happen to me." I was surprised to hear her callous attitude towards marriage and unfortunately her attitude is probably quite common.

I certainly won't make this post a rant about the deterioration of the institution of marriage. But what I will say is that a loving and dedicated marriage between two people who are meant to be together is the most amazing and wonderful thing I have experienced in my life. Sure there are tough times, but those instances have made us even stronger and helped us to grow even closer together. I love Jessica with all my heart and I know we are going to be happy together for a very long time. Love ya babe!

Here's a few shots that our friend R.J. captured of us a few weeks ago.



And here's a few more that our friends Ross and Kammi took.



And I have to thank Jessica's sister Heather (who might be our most loyal blog stalker) for this shot.

Congratulations. You guys both demonstrate a lot of what I think is "right" about marriage, and I'm lucky to call you both great friends. The photos looks great; they capture the energy you exhibit for life and one another, and that's easy to see.

Are you kidding me. Kammi and I were married on June 10th as well. A big congrats to you guys, happy anniversery. Our first child was born four days before our one year anniversery, so our day kinda gets overlooked now. Congrats again.

Happy Anniversary!!! You look amazing together. Jessica, I only wish I could have met you during my short visit out to Colorado. The last portrait of you two is just stunning! Thanks for sharing and I'm so thrilled you are both super happy. You look adorable together! Now I'm getting ready to celebrate my ten year anniversary this summer. :)
