Three Years

May 27th was our 3 year wedding anniversary. This day always means a lot to me for a couple reasons. First is the obvious reason: It was the day I married my wonderful husband. I am so grateful to have him in my life. He makes me so much better of a person by encouraging me to do my best. He also makes me laugh (even when I'm trying to be mad at him and I try not to laugh).

The second reason is that after we chose this date I found out it is my grandpa's birthday. He died before I was born, but I have always felt a connection to him that I can't explain. When I found out that our wedding was going to be on his birthday it seemed like the perfect choice.

I can't believe it has already been 3 years. I still feel like a newlywed in some ways. In other ways it feels like I have been married to Soren for a long time because he has become such a part of me that I can't imagine my life without him.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our wedding day:

I think of this as the classic fairy tale kiss.

Here is our delicious cake. It is by far the best wedding cake I have ever had. Usually they look good, but taste terrible. This one was great inside and out!

Soren and my brother Jeremy being goofy. I think Jeremy looks like he is trying to model underwear.

I love the glow this picture has. This is actually the reason why I chose of photographer. I instantly feel in love with the back lighting I saw in other pictures he had taken. Also, I think this picture is just downright cute with our noses touching and us smiling.
