To me, the most shocking part of love has always been the vulnerability it brings. Growing up, I was very careful never to udder the words, "I love you" to any boy who held my heart. It cracks open your ribs and leaves your beating heart, exposed. The fear that lies in that kind of nakedness could use me up, if I let it.
But my love forges ahead instead of retreating and I have learned to embrace the riches of my defenseless heart. I look at Tyler. At Aliyah. At Everly. And it consumes me in the most frighteningly beautiful way. I am in over my head. Laid bare.
Completely and totally brave in love with the most amazing man and our two beautiful children.
Happy Seven Years to Us... and many many more!
I love you, Tyler Brice xoxo
