While packing some books yesterday, Bret found an unsent letter to me while he was deployed during the first year we were together!

It was so exciting to open the letter and read something he wrote 6 and a half years ago. What struck me the most is how much Bret has grown since then. The things he talked about and the way he talked about them is SOOOOOOO different from how he would now. It was neat to have a permanent record like that, to see a point A and a point B of growth. We both looked at each other after (we read it together) and I’m like, WOW! And he said, I can’t believe you were with me and married me like that! God definitely had his hand in that!
