This past month, Michael and I celebrated our two year anniversary with our two kids JJ and Leilani. We decided to all go to Downtown Disney which is where Michael proposed to me (while he was carrying Leilani, who was holding the ring 
). It’s nice to look back and remember how God’s plan for our family unfolded.
We’ve been through so much during the last couple years. There have been many great memories we’ve made along the way and there have been many trials with our health. It has mostly been the trials that have helped shape our character, strengthen our family bond and our faithfulness to God.
Michael and I try our best to live out our vows to each other each day (especially the part ‘in sickness and in health’). I think the most difficult part in the beginning of our marriage were my expectations that I never voiced. I had to learn that I had to be more open and honest if I needed help with things like house cleaning and not just assume that Michael knew where to help.
Now that we both have issues with our health we try to be there for each other even when we aren’t feeling well ourselves. We are learning to trust God’s great plan for our lives even more, walking side by side in thankfulness and patience, raising our children together and continuing to reach out to others.
Thank you God for blessing us with this Sacrament of Marriage. I am so grateful to have married a man of God who is so devoted to his family and our well-being. We know you are taking care of us through the live-giving love we have for one another. Please guide me in my motherhood and as a wife. Bless and protect our family and give us what we need to do your holy will. We will continue to serve you and strive for what is pure and good. We love you so much and we praise you for you have blessed our lives with so much love and joy. Amen!
