Engagiversary

This picture is framed and up in our house. Even though it was taken less than 4 years ago, we both agree that we look SO YOUNG. Does marriage make you age exponentially, or is it kid(s)? Either way, we should really take it down. I'm tired of telling people that no, we haven't been married for 10 years, it just looks that way!

Today is a fun day in both the Pratt/Wilson households. It is the day that Jason and I were engaged 4 years ago, and it is also the day that my parents were engaged, just a FEW years earlier. We didn't get engaged on the same day on purpose, but it makes me smile that we were. I like my parents - I think they have a pretty good hold on this whole "marriage thing," and I appreciate their example of making sacrifices for each other and their family, and of making each other laugh. To me, laughing or the ability to have a sense of humor in any given situation is an extremely important part of making a relationship work. I don't think a day has gone by since Jason and I were married that he hasn't made me laugh. I'm so grateful for that. We didn't do much to celebrate today. Jason was home for about an hour and a half in between school and work, but he did bring me two gallons of milk (we go through milk like CRAZY lately - no idea why), and a dozen long-stemmed roses. I specify that they are long-stemmed because I'm no flower connoisseur, and since I couldn't find the one reliable vase that we own, I cut a significant amount off of all of the stems and stuck them in a mason jar...oops. I made a bad choice. Jason told me it was okay, they are my flowers and I can do with them what I want. 4 years doesn't seem like a very long time. I feel like we have been married forever, and in a good way. I sometimes can't even remember what life was like before Jason and Reagan became a part of it.
