Counting Down the Years

First: We met. (that's an accurate image for the level of enthusiasm I think John had for the idea of dating me at the time)


A year later I convinced him to invite me over to watch Deadwood on HBO...and subsequently date me because I am clearly awesome.


The year after that, John decided he liked me so much, he swept me off my feet and to the Oregon Coast where he asked me to marry him. For those of you holding your breath, I said 'yes'.


So, a year after that, we decided to get married and booked it to the British Virgin Islands, because by that point, we liked each other so much we were pretty much the only people we wanted to hang out with.


Until, of course, a year later when this cute kid showed up--then there were three.

And a year and a half later, Audrey's kid sister rocketed into the world.

Now there are four.

And our hearts are so, so full.

Where will we be next year?

All I know is: God is good.
