5 Years Ago…
Five years ago I couldn’t stop staring at the antique engagement ring on my finger and marveling at how God had provided it.
Five years ago I couldn’t stop smiling, even as the emotions of engagement and wedding planning overwhelmed me.
Five years ago I was trying on wedding dresses and discovered that the shop still had the old-fashioned one with little roses that I’d tried on for the fun of it the year before.
Five years ago I was walking to the bus stop from work and smiling as I listened to the voicemail my fiancé had left me—my fiancé!
Five years ago I was making a guest list and designing wedding invitations and looking at bridesmaid dress patterns.
Five years ago I was the happiest girl in the world and more in love than I thought possible.
And now, five years later, I can only say, “And I thought I loved you then…”
After seeing Chantel’s post about where she was one, five, and ten years ago, I was all set to join in on Lisa-Jo’s 5 Minute Friday about what I was doing five years ago. Especially since five years ago was such a happy time in my life! And if you’re like me, on Fridays, I’m doing well to find five minutes to blog—so come join in on the fun of 5 Minute Fridays at The Gypsy Mama!
Oh, Gretchen. 馃檪
So cool that I remember reading about this, five years ago. How different *I* was back then, too, but still oh-so-happy for ya!
This makes me smile!
This post makes me happy!! 馃檪
I hope you have a happy happy weekend 馃檪
This is JUST beautiful and SO true!! The way we loved them then and the way the love grows…well…it’s hard to put into words!!
I think I said this before but I just LOVE your blog layout!
Wow, we were engaged on the 27th of Feb, exactly 5 years ago! Your post brings back lots of memories… 馃檪
Oh, I just love this post!
Nice five minutes! I love that last line. Isn’t it great when we think love just can’t get any bigger, and yet it does? It’s a great discovery of growth!
