PART 15: AFTERWORD
our story isn't perfect by any means, but it is ours and i love it!
i once read that everyone has two stories- 1) the story you would tell if you were sitting on the couch being taped like the older couples on when harry met sally 2) then the other story is the one that includes all of those things plus the rest of your details too.
all of life has ups and downs. none of us are perfect and evan and i definitely make our fair share of mistakes and disappoint each other. but while everything shapes us and teaches us lessons along the way it's the sweet, sweet details i didn't ever want to forget. and that's why i wrote our story. thanks for joining us in "our lifelong conversation" as i put it into words.

i had always hoped for 3 specific things in the man i married.
1) a strong christian that loved God
2) someone with a double letter last name
(i have always taken great pride in how many double letters i have in my name
and i didn't want to give that up when i got a new married name)
3) someone who would play with my hair every night while i fell asleep
well, i got all i bargained for and much, much more!
(this picture was taken during the summer of '08
at the exact spot evan proposed to me almost 5 years earlier during the winter of '03)
and now we've come to
THE END of OUR LIFELONG CONVERSATION
although it's not really the conclusion of our life story because
"true love stories never have endings."

I have loved reading your "lifelong converstation" and am {sad} that it's over...what a sweet story!!! You've inspired me to write our story...not that it is near as dramatic! ;) Thanks for sharing!
I too have looked forward to Thursdays and what is next in your lifelong conversation. I love seeing how other people meet and fell in love! Marriage is such a wonderful blessing! I'm kinda sad that you're done with your story.
I loved reading your story and I know Adelaide will love reading it one day too. I think I need to get ours down on paper but it is not quite the page turner!!
I loved the story and will keep reading even though my Thursday installments are no longer. :( I found the double letter last name thing to be funny, how ironic!
How sweet. I have enjoyed reading your "lifelong conversation." What an awesome gift to record the details your love story.
Oh Annalee, life is truly sweet, isn't it?! Thank you for sharing your blessings with us, and for reminding me to stop and store the the little things into my memory! xoxo
Thank goodness for those double c's. I have loved reading your conversations.
You are going to love that you have all of this written out and in a record for you! I am inspired by you to somehow write my story down too!
this is a perfect ending to your story...but a great beginning for your lives together! :)
what an awesome way to preserve the story for your child :)
