We’ve now been back together for 4 years, married for 3. We welcomed our first child, a son named Porter, 2 years to the exact day of our wedding ceremony. Our family is happy, whole, and filled with so much love and endless amounts of joy.
None of our time apart was wasted. All the bitter was made sweet. We both had 5 incredible children who have become the large, rambunctious family I never knew I needed. My 3 bonus kiddos are one of my life’s greatest gifts. I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Spending our 20’s apart helped us to grow into the best versions of ourselves we could ever be. And it made us ready for each other, this time…forever. For in the very moments it felt as if my life was over, it was truly just beginning. Love found a way to win, just like it always does.”
