3 Years

Three years ago today, Rachel and I got married in a beautiful Italian restaurant called Tuscany. To say it was a perfect day would be an understatement. The venue was beautiful. The bride was beautiful and the food was incredible. The groom wasn't too bad looking either. This won't be a typical anniversary post to gain points in the bedroom later. It's a true explanation of how Rachel has changed my life from the day we met to three years after we said "I do". Before Rachel and I met I was going to school at the University of Utah. All I was doing was showing up to each class and waiting to cross it off the list of ones I HAD to take. I had no direction and wasn't even sure my major was what I wanted. School was just a habit at this point so I kept going. I worked at TKJ in a job I loved because I was helping others. I could also drink every night, and I had mornings off to ski every morning. It was the best job for me at the time because it gave me the ability to do whatever I wanted and enjoy life. After Rachel and I met I instantly began to figure things out. I found interest in social work and started to actually enjoy some of the classes I was taking. I wanted to learn more, and the more I learned the more curious I got. I applied for a job with Valley Mental Health and loved working at CORE. I felt like I directly impacted people's lives and pulled people out of some of the darkest times in their life. After a few years I started to get a little worn out. I was around sadness 4 days a week and the 5 day something great would happen that would make me enjoy my job again. Rachel noticed what I was going through and told me I had to find something that made me happy. Something that I could bloom in and experience a career rather then just a job. That's when we took a gamble with Ramp. I now do something I love and look forward to on Monday morning. Rachel and I have traveled to some of the most amazing places in the world and finally feel like I have found things I want to do for the rest of my life. Like I said before, to say Rachel has changed my life would be an understatement. Anyone can see that Rachel will dedicate herself to something and wont stop until she knows she has excelled or improved. Watching her at work I have now seen how she does it. She will see a problem and find a way to fix it optimize it and have it continue to run at peak performance. Just like She did with me when we first met. Now I understand I was just another project in her life.
