5 Years and Counting...

Today is our 5 year wedding anniversary. It's hard to believe that just 5 years ago today we were just one boy and one girl deeply in love, in college, and after 5 years of dating finally saying 'I DO'. It was so awesome. We knew from the beginning we were each other's one and only no matter what happens- good, bad, and the ugly! And now 5 years later we are a family of five. Wow- time flies. But one thing is true. I love Johnnie Ray Reagan more than I have ever loved him. He is a loving and caring husband, father, son, brother, and friend and I want no one else to be by my side forever. He lifts me up when I am down and makes me laugh like no one else. He knows me better than anyone knows me. He loves me like no one else loves me. He gave me three beautiful children. He is my everything and now as we enter the second half of the first decade of our marriage I just pray that I can be the best wife to him. I pray God continues to teach me how to love him and build him up as the leader of our home. I pray that we just become closer and stronger both together and in Christ. I pray that my words will be sweet and true, and that I bring him more joy than pain.

I love you forever and ever more Johnnie Ray. You are my best friend, my love, and my man.

Thank you for always loving me.

I love this song. Sometimes marriage is like dancing in a minefield, but the good news is that we have eachother bring us back to home base where we are safe. And if we are on the right path, our marriage can bare the light of Christ.
