Two Years

I’m a little behind on this post. We just got internet today which is why I wasn't able to post this earlier. On July 5th, Tagg and I celebrated 2 years of marriage! I know 2 years isn't really that long but it seems long to me. In ways it seems like we just got married yesterday but it also seems like I don't really remember a time not being married. Recently I have been reflecting on our first two years of marriage and I think they have been more eventful than most couples first 2 years. We have been through so many experiences together, some great and some not so great. How grateful I am that we were sealed for eternity! I know that we will be together forever and I know that Zach will be ours as well. Here is a quick look at everything we have done the past 2 years.
-Went to Cancun
-Visited 17 states
-Both of us graduated from college
-Both of us got "real" jobs
-Lived in New York for the summer (plus all the amazing opportunities that came along with that!)
-Went to Washington DC for our 1st anniversary
-Cruise to Mexico (Cabo, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta)
-Saw Garth Brooks in concert
-Got Pregnant
-Gave Birth to Zach
-Burried our son
-Became an Intramural Champion (a five year pursuit for Tagg)
-Lived in three different apartments (not counting New York)
-Moved across the country

I'm sure the list could go on much longer as well. We have been so blessed the past two years. Tagg and I always said we needed to be prepared for the storm to come because we had been blessed with everything we wanted. The storm definitely came and I'm sure there will be more storms to come in the future. However, I am so grateful that I have Tagg to go through it with! I can honestly say it has been a great two years. We have learned so much! Yes, we have been through hard things, but who hasn't. We have also been so richly blessed and I try to remember that when I get lonely or frustrated with not having our baby with us. I love Tagg more now than I did two years ago. There is a song that reminds me so much of Tagg and how I feel about him. It is called "Then" by Brad Paisley. I know he is singing about a girl, but just exchange the word girl for boy. I added the song to the blog and posted the words below.

I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first met you
You had me mezmorized
And three weeks later, in the front porch light
taking forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight
I hadn't told you yet
but I thought I loved you then

Chorus
Now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
Like a river meets the sea,
stronger than it's ever been.
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then

And i remember, taking you back to right where I first met you,
You were so surprised
There were people around, but I didn't care
Got down on one knee right there once again,
I thought I loved you then

Chorus

I could just see you, with a baby on the way
And I could just see you, when your hair is turning gray
What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more
But I've said that before

And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
We'll look back someday, at this moment that we're in
And I'll look at you and say
And I thought I loved you then
And I thought I loved you then

I am sure in 50 more years I will look back and think the same thing. I think our love is strong now, but I can't wait to see how much better it is then. I love you babe!
