Yesterday, Jeff and I celebrated our three year anniversary! It has been quite the three years, but they have been oh so good to us! Our first year we adopted a stray cat my friend Kristy found in Richmond. Maverick is quite the character! Yes, Maverick is named after Jeff's favorite movie, Top Gun. We have greatly enjoyed this mischievous little guy!
Our second year of marriage we bought a house in Smithfield. We love this little town where there is lots of history and the people are so friendly. Walking down Main Street with all of its little shops makes life slow down.
Our third year of marriage was defined by pregnancy and finally the birth of our son. We learned so much about each other during this year. For labor we planned on using the Bradley Method, which uses the husband as the birthing coach. Labor is definitely not a 50/50 effort, but I know that I couldn't have done it without Jeff's amazing coaching and encouragement. I feel like this experience really showed how incredible the last three years have been. We have learned how to work so well together, which was definitely essential during the hurricane birth. The Lord has been so good to us and provided in ways we couldn't have even imagined. We have loved these last three years going through life together. We just hope next year doesn't have any big additions!
