Three whirlwind years of wedded bliss

Filed Under: Uncategorized 1 Comment

Three years ago today, I married my husband. It has been the most rewarding years of my life. A whirlwind but never dull. The addition of two beautiful daughters and a major career change and huge lifestyle change and oh yeah…building house has all happened in our three short years of marriage. Nathan and I have a tremendously strong bond that has strengthen through our whirlwind marriage. We are solid. And I am grateful every day for Nathan, for our family and for our marriage.

I am not home to celebrate with Nathan today, rather in Calgary for business meetings. Yesterday afternoon after not having my luggage for a day and two long days of training meetings (I am learning all about social media!!! More later.)  I got back to my hotel room for a quick hour before leaving for dinner with colleagues. In my room I found a beautiful bouquet of roses from my forever romantic and thoughtful husband. Roses delivered to the Holiday Inn in Calgary? I was impressed. Managing his end of the month work while juggling two kids under the age of two and a 6th grade son is enough to keep Nathan over the top consumed and busy this week but thinking of me and our wedding anniversary was touching. I am smiling from ear to ear. My dimples hurt from smiling so much.

I went through seven USB drives looking for our wedding pictures to post in honor of this day. But I am at a loss! Instead above is a picture that will keep my smile going today. I took it just before church on Sunday morning. Smiling husband with happy kids!
Here is to 60 more years at least of wedded bliss…less whirlwind but I have no doubt they will continue to be exciting, fun and rewarding. The most rewarding job I have is being a mommy to my kids and wife to Nathan. That is even more blaringly obvious to me from the Holiday Inn in Calgary!

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
