eight years

written yesterday on 6.29.21

eight years ago right now i was getting ready to walk down the aisle. my dad tenderly next to me and a very dapper man waiting at the end.
a man with the kindest heart; a man who has always felt like home.

our wedding day was such a dream.
love surrounded us on that summer day in uptown charlotte… at midnight as we danced to “you swept me away” by the avett brothers, our loved ones danced closely around – embracing us.

i will always hold that close.

today our home is full of clipped hydrangeas from our yard, two sweet boys playing together, birthday remnants, and the smell of our coffee mugs from this morning. these simple days are my favorite part of this one life- so far.
“and i thought i loved you then.”
throughout all the good and all the uncertainties, i know exactly where i want to be.

happy anniversary, my love
