Five Years Ago...

Five years ago today Matt left to serve his mission in the Dominican Republic.  FIVE YEARS AGO!  I can't believe how fast time has flown by and how much our lives have changed.  I also can't believe that I survived two years without him. 

I have been thinking all day about the day Matt left.  I remember feeling so excited for him and happy that he had chosen to serve a mission.  But I also remember feeling devastated, the worst I have ever felt in my entire life.  I felt so uncertain, so lonely and so heartbroken without my best friend.

Matt and I tease sometimes that if we were able to get through him serving a two year mission we can get through anything but I believe it with all my heart.  I know the Lord blessed both of us for him serving a mission and continues to do so in our marriage.

I am so grateful that five years has passed and that we are married with the cutest baby in the entire world!  Ya...life is good!

  1. You realize now, that we have been friends for 5 years. 5 years Aubs...that's FOREVER! As we're just as good of friends as we were then...perhaps even more so. :) I remember when Matt left and how sad you were. I'm so glad you don't have to do that ever again. Dinner soon. I miss you.
