Valleys & Mountaintops

Sometimes looking at social media (or an old-school blog like this one) you can get the impression that life is perfect. Right? We only post the vacation photos! And the fun things we do together. 

Of course we don't post about the moments when we are in a bad mood, when the kids are loud [and dare I say annoying? :-) ]  or when we are in the trenches doing dishes and giving showers and just trying to stay above water. 

But that's what makes life beautiful. We can't have the good without the bad. We can't have the mountaintop without the valleys (or there would be no such thing as a mountaintop if there were no valleys). I know it's hard raising kids while being a passionate couple who still has time to deeply talk and date and love each other. I committed from the very beginning to always pursue you. 

And although we can go weeks now without a "date night" (sometimes a month!) I love you so much and love doing life with you. I still want to pursue you and plan dates for you and look at you just like I did when we were first married. 

I love you, Tiffany. Life isn't just about the high moments but also about every thing in between, and I am so glad we get to do life together.
