Our Lives Loudly

This week was our five year wedding anniversary! It was so fun to think back and remember the years we’ve been together.

If they stay little you miss them learning to walk, talk, tell you they love you, etc. so I’ve been really trying to stay completely in the moment and remember these days but still appreciate time moving forward. I am so blessed to be able to spend my days with them! It’s been SO hard and rewarding and I feel like I’ve changed and grown so much myself in the past 7 months that I am looking forward to what the future is for me. I almost feel like I am fresh  of college again- minus the high alcohol tolerance ;) because when the time is right for me and our family for me to go back to work, I truly don’t know what I will be doing or where I’ll end up.
