nostalgia.

Word of the day: nostalgia \nä-ˈstal-jə\ a wistful or excessively sentimental yearning for return to or of some past period or irrecoverable condition

It should have already been established that I'm an overly nostalgic person. I love to walk down memory lane and to start conversations with, "Remember when..." I love to crack open my mom's old photo albums and I still force Jake to watch my old dance videos with me from time to time.

Our two year wedding anniversary is in less than a week. What's that old saying? Oh yeah...

Time flies.

Sometimes I like to think about Jake before I knew him. I wonder sometimes what he was doing the day I was born. What was keeping me busy in Iowa City when he celebrated his 5th birthday? Did we ever start school on the same day or ask our dads to read us the same book?

It's funny to think, isn't it?

All I know, is that God chose to intertwine our stories eventually.

I don't think that I pictured ending up with someone like Jake when I fantasized about my wedding as a little girl.


Thank goodness I was wrong...

(I mostly created this post as an excuse to share our wedding slideshow. The quality is a little weird, but I think you'll get the idea!)
