Four

Some of you may remember that January 3rd four years ago was a bitterly cold day. There was snow on the ground, but none falling from the sky. It was the coldest day of the winter up to that point - a freezing -30, closer to -40 with the wind chill. That is the day I got married. Luckily for me and my handsome groom, we had our love to keep us warm, at least a little warmer than our bridal party. That day was one of the happiest days of my life. 

Four years later, Matt and I found ourselves out on the town with a real babysitter at home with Oakley (real means she was paid with money. Thanks again Janessa for watching Oakley!) so I introduced Matt to the succulent taste of Famoso. If you haven't been, for the love of all that is good, go! It is so scrumptious! Afterward, we explored the catwalks in the Strathcona Science Provincial Park. I'm looking forward to going in the spring when it's lush and green and maybe a tad warmer. :) After that, we had no plans. But we had a babysitter and were going to make the most of it! So, we invited ourselves over to my sister's house to play some games. It was a delightful evening celebrating our married life. 

Four years is quite a long time. I've been married for 48 months, 208 weeks, 1461 days or 35,063 hours. We have had our share of ups and downs but we are still together and continually growing in love. I am grateful that Matt held out those long four months I made him wait. I can't imagine my life without him in it. 

Happy Anniversary Matt!
