Today is our wedding anniversary – five years! It’s hard to believe it’s been that long, and that we’ve been in Ireland nearly as long. Time flies. I’m beyond grateful to get to spend all the days of my life with this handsome man.
This is the first time I’ve looked at our wedding photos and thought, We look so young! And we were. I was only 24, and Michael just a year older. But we’re figuring it out together, one year at a time. This year it felt like we finally settled in. We finally (almost) figured out how to disagree and argue constructively, and we’ve been faced with challenges that have made us lean into each other like we never have before. We are learning to be married together, and it makes me feel peaceful and content.
We’re celebrating with a little stay-cation in a hotel in Dublin this weekend. We’ll do a little exploring on the other side of the city, sleep late, and soak up the last weekend before the school year starts and Michael gets a whole lot busier!
Have a wonderful weekend, friends!
