Today marks 6 years of being married! 6 long, agonizing, horrible years. JUST KIDDING!
Man I just can't believe it. It really does seem like just yesterday that I was fighting with my brother and crying and my dad knocking him upside the head and saying "Leave Camille alone! This is her wedding day! Give her one stinking day where you don't fight with each other!" haha I also remember waking up in my moms bed (of course I had to sleep with my mommy one last time) with Austin sleeping sideways with his little feet jamming me in my head.
So I didn't start telling this story until just recently. It's so funny that I just have to. Ok so when we were up at the alter and went over to the side to have communion. We were praying and both crying and Troy breathed through his nose and a booger flew out and landed on my hand. YEP, a booger! What a way to try to ruin a sweet moment. I was a trooper though and just wiped it off with my kleenex. Fast forward to when we are back up front and Troy's brother (who helped marry us) is speaking to us & of course I start crying again and I start dabbing under my eyes with my kleenex. I looked at the kleenex to see if my make-up was coming off and I see it. IT! That nasty booger that had just flew out of Troy's nose and onto my hand. I kinda chuckled and my stomach turned all at the same time. Oh man I hope that made you laugh as much as I'm laughing right now thinking about it.
From that point on it has been full of craziness and fun. We seriously are the funniest people! I mean we were kinda funny when we first got married but boy are we funny now. I guess that's what happens when you are married to your best friend and you are always having fun.
This past year has been quite different than the other 5 but its has definitely been the best having our sweet boy in our lives. I'm not gonna lie. We miss how comfortable our life was. How easy it was. If we wanted to go to Dallas at 9pm to eat then we did. If we wanted to lay in bed till noon we did. We did a lot! After being married and just the two of us for 5 years it was a huge adjustment when we had Cambric. I was terrified of what a child would do to our relationship because people were always "warning" me of how hard it was going to be on us. Thanks for that by the way. *Sarcastic eye roll* The first few weeks when my baby blues were at their peak, I would hug Troy and just cry. Even though I was so happy to have Cambric in our lives, I was struggling with the fact that it was no longer just the 2 of us. I was mourning the past 5 years of our marriage where it was just us, all at the same time I was ecstatic thinking about the future and how much fun the 3 of us were going to have. There are just way too many crazy hormone stuff going on those 1st few months!
I am so thankful that we had 5 years to grow and establish a strong relationship with just the 2 of us. I wouldn't have wanted to do it any other way. Cambric has only made our marriage better. Yes it has been an adjustment throwing a baby in the mix and trying to figure out what kind of parents we want to be but we sure are having fun. We are tired, but having fun! Troy is such a good daddy and husband. People think I'm the big sucker but Troy proved he is just as bad as me when the first night we moved Cambric into his crib, I went to sleep and he went in and checked on him every 10 minutes till 2am and when he missed Cambric being in our bed so he went and woke him up and brought him to me saying he was hungry. Yep, he's a sucker too!
Can't wait to see what God has in store for us over the next many many years.
Here are some pictures of us through the years. Oh and FYI When I was looking at the pictures from Cambric's birth Troy said "Oh my gosh you were so FAT!" hahaha I swelled BIG time. You know your in love when you can laugh and not punch your husband for saying that!
* I think this was more of a "look at how Camille's hair has changed through the years!"
