3 years

Joe and I will be married for 3 years this Tue. the 22nd of Nov. I think it is crazy that this is only our 3 year anniversary. I feel like I have known Joe forever. I think I feel we have been married longer because of how much we have been through, and that we already have 2 absolutely gorgeous girls. Our first year of marriage we went through some incredibly trying times. I have never shared them with anyone but my parents and a few family members. I don't feel ready to share them now, but by the grace of God, and the atonement, somehow things came together just as they needed to, I honestly believe my Heavenly Father gave us a true miracle. We have slowly been clawing ourselves out of the Hellhole called debt, that has been incredibly difficult, habits don't change overnight, and somehow you have to get yourself to do without things you felt you really need. Turns out I don't always need designer jeans after all. Although I can't deny that I still want them, lets be honest designer jeans look better. Joe had to sell his loved Harley to help pay off debts, and we haven't had any vacations or really expensive outings, despite Joe's decent wages. It has been hard, but honestly I feel like we have been through a lot, and that we could go through more and still love each other as much as when we first got married. Although I realize we still have tough times to come I am confident we can get through them together. There is not a man on this earth that I love more than I love Joe. He has been perfect for me in every way. He truly lets me be who I am, and as annoying as that may be for him, I am so grateful for it, I will be honest that with many guys I dated before, I conformed myself to what I thought that they wanted me to be. However I didn't do this with Joe and I have never felt like I couldn't show my true self with him. Joe is incredibly hard working, and in my very good opinion super handsome, He is the cutest dad, and loves his girls, he tells us all the time that his lot in life is to be surrounded by beautiful girls, and he couldn't be happier! I never imagined the life I have now, but I couldn't imagine it any other way now either. Joseph Luke Williams, I love you.

The first picture I took of Joe, it was on a fire in Nevada.
