Where Would I Be (The Question) - Kindred the Family Soul

“You don’t recognize it but I tell you no lie. You’re the reason why my life has turned right. Every day I’m thankful. At times I don’t show you. My world would be incomplete if I didn’t know you.”

My husband and I will celebrate 9 years of marriage this month. I will be the first to say (followed by his close second) that it has NOT been an easy road. But there is no one I would rather walk this road, raise these kids, and grow ALL THE WAY UP with than him. Even in the toughest seasons, I simply cannot deny the gift that he is to my life. He is the mirror God knew I needed, and I am the same to him.

Having met in high school on the very first day of our ninth grade year, we have known one another longer than we haven’t at this point. I always feel nostalgic around the month of November as we both celebrate birthdays and our wedding anniversary.

Listen to the podcast episode, ‘09. Hubby, Lover, AND Best Friend? | Part 2’ to hear the story of the day we met.

“Every time you kiss me, you make me remember that sunny fall day at end of September. Boy I can’t imagine; what would I do if I didn’t know you? Who would I be if I didn’t know you?” -Where Would I Be (The Question) - Kindred the Family Soul

Although I could not find a lot of high school-era pics (I’ll update this post when I find a few more of my prom pics), we have captured a few memories along our journey.

Check out these photos of us and the family we are building.

Note: although AI is a super dope tool, all of these words are written directly from my own mind, unenhanced by technology. :)
