5 Years Ago

5 years ago today, I was preparing to go from Karlee Thompson to Karlee Webster. I remember waking up so excited for the day. I remember thinking to enjoy every second because it would soon be gone!

The day was perfect. Everything about it. I remember the first time I saw Aaron and thinking how handsome he looked. I remember thinking about how lucky I was that I got to spend the rest of my life with him! I remember thinking that this man was such a genuine, good, honest, godly man and that I knew he would love me every day of his life. And he has.

Our first five years of marriage have brought happiness, sadness, joy, frustration, anger, forgiveness, and a love I never knew possible. We have had 5 different jobs between us, lived in 3 houses, lived in 3 states, had two dogs, had a child, have been able to be a part of 2 amazing churches, gone on 3 mission trips (one to India!), been to 5 youth camps, traveled half way across the world together, seen each other at our best and our worst, prayed for each other, and much more! The Lord has been so good to us!

We have learned how to communicate better than ever before, love each other through hard times and bad times, and to have fun with each other every day! Our life is an adventure and we love having this adventure together! We have also been blessed with one amazing little boy, Brody! God has blessed us beyond belief with him.

I am so glad that Aaron choose me as his wife and that God placed him in my life. Aaron brings laughter, happiness, and joy to my life. I love you Aaron and happy 5 year anniversary!
