Nine Years of True Love
Filed under: Family
Today marks the NINE year anniversary of my commitment to this amazing man. Everyday I am more in awe of how perfectly we are matched to each other and how God has provided for us so abundantly throughout the years. In the past nine years, we have:
- Lived in 11 homes
- Created two little people who look like us
- Traveled the country and experienced a lot of LIFE in a small period of time
- Fallen more deeply in love than ever!
And oh how I love him! Let me count the ways:
I LOVE…
- …how he loves Jesus.
- …his passion for leading others in worship.
- …how he confidently leads our family.
- …how he knows exactly how I like my poached eggs and he has them ready for me in the morning.
- …how he is incredibly handy and can truly fix/create anything!
- …his obsession with Craigslist…and his “researcher” personality.
- …his family (I am a lucky girl to acquire them as my own!)
- …how he looks at his girls.
- …how seriously he takes the role of “Daddy”.
- …that he is a true “outdoors/workin’ man”.
- …his love of movies.
- …that he enjoys going to garage sales and thrift stores with me.
- …listening to him play his guitar.
- …that he requests green smoothies and drinks them with pleasure
- …that he loves to travel.
- …feeling our feet touch in the covers as we fall asleep.
- …how handsome he is! Woo woo!
…and most of all, I love that he LOVES ME!
Thank you Matt for standing by me and loving me unconditionally…I’m looking forward to 50 more years!
Here are a few pics of our special day.

Congratulations Sara and Matt! What a wonderful and uplifting post.
One thing I know from marriage is that it refines us and helps us to develop the character of Christ.
Have a great anniversary!

Beautiful tribute to love! In a world that glorifies distortions of married love, it is refreshing to read how true love dwarfs the imitations that clamor for equality.

I just found your blog via search for vintage remedies. two words: thank you.
Thank you for being so open with your faith and applying it to how you choose to live. I have spent the afternoon reading your archives (ok, not the whole afternoon) and I feel as if you have encouraged me to be more open about my faith on my blog. I too love things all natural although, no dreadlocks : )
also, a big congrats on the birth of your daughter and on your anniversary.

Sara, I would like to get your advice. I have looked through your site a couple times and it seems that we would be “boosom buddies” or soul mates as Anne of Green Gables would say. I am looking for a housing solution for my family of me, husband, dog and 4 children (15, 9, 5, 2). We have been living with my sister in law for 6 months and it really is time to go. We need a place of our own. I don’t need much and would like to know how to find out about alternative living options. Berkeley, CA is right where my husband works. It seems that from the reputation, I should be able to find something? Do you have any ideas? suggestions?

By the way, I would also like to offer you a hearty hand clapping on your marriage. It is work! But there are so many blessings to be had.
