Each year we have together gets sweeter and sweeter. Never did I expect this year to be this wonderful alongside some serious hurt from the world. This man stands by his promises and supports me through all the ups and downs of life. He encourages me to be me, challenges me to grow where it’s needed, pushes me to be more disciplined, and holds me when I need it most.

I really love this man. So much more than I ever thought possible. Marriage is so good.

Year four, we’re ready for whatever you have to offer and I’ve learned in year three that we absolutely cannot predict that.

Happy Anniversary {2 Years}

Jul 7, 2014 /

Today marks TWO YEARS with Mike Jaderston. It seems just wild to me that we’ve been married for that long. We’ve hit a lot of milestones in our life together and I think two years married is a good one to have.

In the last year we’ve…

We’re feeling pretty blessed and pretty sleepy since that third trip to Minnesota ended yesterday at 9 pm. But we’re so excited to celebrate 2 years and are even more excited for what this next year will hold. Happy Monday!

Our Story {Engagement Party}

Oct 23, 2013 /

So at this point we are engaged, excited, and so happy.

After Mike promised me the three things I started asking him other questions. I wanted to know who all knew we were getting engaged and who helped him set all this stuff up – and guess what?

He lied to me!

We’d been engaged for approximately 25 minutes and he lies!

His responses were that his best friend, Samuel, helped him set up (true) and that only his parents knew about us getting engaged tonight (lie). He also said he had asked my dad but that they didn’t know when it was happening (lie).

He then suggested that we head back to his parents’ house to call our friends and family.

It was about a 10 minute walk – it was blissful. I was so happy and still in shock.

When we finally got back to his parents house we were happily welcomed by EVERYONE we love! My family wasn’t there on this night because of other conflicts, but we celebrated with them the next day. Now do you see why he lied?

It was a lie that was well worth it.

My (now) sister-in law!

My new brother!
The girls! She grabbed the wrong hand for the photo – which is why I’m laughing so hard in the photo below.
Roomie at the time – love you Miss!
The pure excitement from this bride to be!
My lifelong friend Emily. We met at WMW and have been friends since.

If you can’t tell from the photos, it was a great time. We celebrated until the late hours of the night and the next morning I woke up to a beautiful ring on my finger and a wedding to plan. Seriously cannot express how wonderful this night was. It was perfect for us – for our future. I love looking back on this day and remembering all these people – in one place – to celebrate us and the fact that Jesus brought us together for His good and to do good in this world – TOGETHER!

Happy Wednesday! I hope your week at its halfway point has been great!
Love, KJ
