Today is one of my favorite days of the entire year. It was 6 years ago today that I married the love of my life, Kari. It has been an amazing 6 years. For that matter, it has been an amazing almost 14 years since we began dating in high school.
This year it is a bit bittersweet, though. That’s because I’m here in New Orleans, at the National Association of REALTORS Conference and Expo, and Kari is back home with our Munchkin. Not only was it 6 years ago today that we were married, but we did it right here, just outside of New Orleans at Oak Alley Plantation. The picture at the top of this post is one that I took on the morning of our wedding, in the very same spot that we stood to take our vows later that evening.
I can remember that day like it was yesterday. Everything was beautiful. The sky was blue all day, the plantation was lush, we had our family and friends with us, and Kari looked amazing.
The best thing is that it has only gotten better since then. I thank God every day for bringing Kari into my life. Her love and support has made me a better man.
I’ve got a lot to do today at the conference, and while I’ll enjoy being here, I won’t enjoy it nearly as much as getting back home to Kari and Ava. Everything I do, I do for them, and I’ll be thinking of them all day today. No matter where we go from here on our joyous journey together as a family, it all officially started 6 years ago today. So today I’ll reminisce fondly about that wonderful day 6 years ago; and as wonderful as it was, I’ll be looking forward even more to what our future days will bring. . .
For Kari, the best wife and mother a guy could ever hope to spend his life with; I LOVE YOU VERYMUCHALOT!!!!!
