my husband.

Sometimes when I’m having a hard time, I try and think of things that make my heart happy.
Things like Wyatt’s smile, William’s love, or capturing a really great picture.

I think of the moment Wyatt was born.
The first time I met William, and the butterflies that fluttered in my stomach.
I think about our first date, our first kiss, and when he got down on one knee and proposed.

Some people may have doubts about marriage, about who they are married to.
William is the only person I have ever had in my life that makes me feel loved.
Like, really loved.

Every day he kisses me and tells me that he loves me.
And when things are rough, I feel like I am being enveloped in warmth.
He makes me feel so comfortable.
And when he says everything will be alright, I believe him.
I always have.

I have never felt such a great sense of certainty..
As I did when I was walking down the aisle toward him on our wedding day.
He makes me feel like I can accomplish anything, and makes me feel like I deserve everything.

In short, life is hard.
You’re bound to get knocked down at one point or another.
And it just feels really nice to have someone to help lift you back up.

We played this song at our wedding. I remember dancing to it with William on beautiful hardwood floors. Floating. Listening to it makes me feel what I felt in that moment. So incredibly loved.
