Heading into our 8th year of marriage, Iāve found myself reflecting on the last 7⦠and the emotion I feel the strongest is humbled.
Humbled by everything weāve walked through.
Blessed beyond measure by the life weāve built.
Truly loved, deeply understood⦠and shaped by every lesson weāve learned along the way.
These past 7 years have been filled with real life, and lots of it. Trials, curveballs, moments that stretched us in ways we never saw coming⦠and lessons we definitely learned the hard way.
Marriage alone takes commitment but building a life, a family, AND a business side by side? Thatās on a completely different level. One that tests you, refines you, and asks more of you than you ever thought you had to give. It raises the stakes. It exposes everything. And very few people truly understand what that requires⦠and even fewer relationships survive it.
But somehow, through all of it, we keep choosing each other.
Even when itās messy.
Even when itās hard.
Even when doubt tries to creep in.
And that, to me, is everything.
In some ways, 7 years feels like weāre just getting startedā¦
But in other ways, it feels like weāve lived a lifetime together already. Especially when I think back to our youth, immaturity, and pure blissful ignorance that night we met at Country Thunder š And Iām so proud of us for enduring what most would consider impossible, and for continuing to grow, evolve, and come back stronger every time.
Celebrating our lucky number 7 anniversary at Amangiri felt like perfect divine timing. Iāve never experienced a place so peaceful, so grounding, and so uniquely beautiful. And I feel like it mirrors where we are currently in our marriage so wellā¦rare, refined over time, deeply intentional, and more beautiful than ever before.
This trip changed me.
It gave me clarity.
It reminded me how I want to show up, as a wife, as a partner, and as a person.
Iām moving forward feeling refreshed, aligned, and so excited for everything thatās ahead of us.
Year 8⦠letās go. š¤āØ
