Two Years Down

Tomorrow marks our second anniversary.

As I sit here reflecting on how well things are going, I can’t help but think part of that success is thanks to our cats. (I know, I know, obligatory post about how our cats have impacted some aspect of my life.)

Matt & me, June 18, 2011.

Well, anyway, it’s the truth.

Living with CH cats changes you. It helps you understand limitations; dream up ways to get around those limitations. It grants you opportunities to grow unlimited patience, especially when confronted with another’s need. It’s made me more considerate, more appreciative. Life is less about stuff, and more about experiences together.

I think all of those lessons have contributed to who I am as a woman, cat mom, daughter, sister, friend, and today, most importantly, wife.

I know I still have a long way to go personally, but in the past few years my little family has had a profound impact on my life. I know without a doubt that they’re all blessings from God. They’re in my life to change me for the better, and I see that happening every day.

So happy anniversary to my little family – specifically Matt. The past two years have been incredible, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
