Ten years and the overalls trend passed. Rian and I finally tied the knot. We stood on the beach on a beautiful Oregon Coast day and exchanged our vows. Under cafe lights there was laughter, drinking and dancing with our closest family and friends. It was a wonderful milestone in our lives.
Just a few months passed and we were handed the keys to our first house. We signed 500 pages of paperwork at the title company and got to work on a few simple painting projects (note: the stairs below did not work out exactly as planned, as evidenced by the blinding blue paint). New paint, holidays and lots of frisbee throws with Kya helped to create a lovely sense of permanence within the walls of our little farmhouse.
But now...now we are here, or rather there. We have a child now. Life is heavier, in the best way. Jack arrived and he changed everything. The moment his cheek was placed against mine he made me feel the magnitude of parenthood, the beautiful weight of just how precious life is. He has brought us there, here.
We are so grateful to be in this new place with this fresh person, to relish in every discovery, every turn life has to offer, to fill up our home and marriage with love for him and each other.
Welcome to the world little boy, we are so glad you are here!
