i have grown to love my husband more than i ever expected. some people have asked me when i knew that i wanted to marry greg and my answer has consistently been: "the day i married him." i was so fearful, so unsure because my expectations for a husband neared perfection. yet that day - that gloriously sunny 80degree cloudless blue sky august 5th day in Austin, Texas - God knit my heart together with Greg O'Brien's. and though our marriage is not perfect, i think i married the most wonderful man on the earth. i cannot imagine a better husband, friend, partner, challenger, leader and protector. he knows me much better than i know myself, is not afraid to speak truth into my life, and loves me without reserve. i am so grateful for marriage - for in it, God has shown me more of Himself, revealed more sin in myself, and deepened my love for Christ.
and while a lot of life has gone by since that picture on august 5th - lots of joys and blessings and wonderful moments, but also many difficulties, sadness, tragedy, and pain - life is even richer and deeper than it was three years ago. And by the grace of God, here's to many more!

Then we went to The Black Cow for appetizer and drink:
Then we put Jude down for bed at our great friends, The Arnoults' apartment while we went to dinner at Finz in Salem.
