Five whole years. Y'all, that's just crazy. Sometimes I still feel like, "OMGoodness, is he sure he wants to date me?" Other times I'm like, "did I exist before June 2008?" Life is sweet being Mrs. Jake Griffin. Not only are we living the dream of advancing the kingdom of God in Baton Rouge, but I'm living the dream of being married to the best person I've ever met. In honor of my deary, here are the top 5 things I've learned from him.
5. Exercise is good. Well, I don't know if I've learned this yet, but sloooowly it is getting ingrained in my thick head... He is obsessed with being active. He not only thinks it's fun but he also sees it as being faithful in the little. I like that about him.
4. It's always a good time to laugh. As Jake says, "if we aren't having fun, we're doing something wrong."
3. Luck is where preparation meets opportunity. My coach of a husband can't help but live his life this way. Of course, we don't really believe in luck, but the principle stands. Be prepared for whatever might come your way.
2. Drink strong coffee. If you can't chew it, it isn't strong enough. I'm glad I can drink coffee like a man now.
1. Purposeful living. The man does not waste a second of his day. He really is a good steward of his time, gifts, and passions. He lives as a man that will give account for it. I hope that I have picked up at least a sliver of this from him!

We've done a lot together in five years- led trips around the world, bought a house, moved cities, started a family, gotten a dog, laughed, cried, and dreamed- and that just makes me excited for the next hundred. The best is definitely yet to come!
