It's Been Two Years

![AL202ed01.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQme54AFMJ6hvdBSKZiALhbyF8NqcmUoSAXX73Bxf2muJxE/AL202ed01.jpg)

Two years ago @lydon.sipe and I vowed to love, honor, and cherish one another for the rest of our lives. I've blinked, and these two years have flown by. 

I cannot imagine my life without Lydon in it, nor can I imagine spending my life with anyone other than him. He graciously puts up with my flaws and idiosyncrasies, and he even joins in when my quirky humor comes out, which is a common occurrence.

## <center> I am so proud of this man. </center> ## 
In the above photo, he had been trying for over an hour to slalom ski for the first time. He did not quit, and he was eventually able to get up. He has so much tenacity, grit, and determination. When Lydon sets his mind to something, he does not give up until it is accomplished.

<center>_______________________________________________________________</center>
I am looking forward to many more years by this man's side. I know that I am valued, loved, protected, and encouraged to be the woman that God created me to be. I am a better person because he challenges me to rise to any occasion, and he views me as a champion whether I win or lose because I put in my best effort.
