One year ago today I
began the greatest adventure of my life: marriage.
This year could not
have been any better. We explored new cultures. We traveled to new places. We
served God together as Husband and Wife. We got Leo, who makes us laugh and
taught us something incredible about love. We have tried new recipes, seen some
good movies, and fill our soul with adventure.
I had no idea what I
was getting into when I said 'I do' a year ago. You cannot prepare for
marriage. Something happens the day after your wedding. The day after all of the hustle an bustle and planning is over. I am not sure what it
is, but something happens. Everything changes.
I don't care if you lived together before, did counseling, or whatever
else. Being husband and wife is something that you simply cannot prepare
for.
We have made a lot
of major life decisions, and been through some really difficult times. Though
we have had our ups and down this past year, I would not trade it for anything.
I have come to the conclusion that marriage is such a beautiful gift. The ups,
downs, and upside downs are all such a beautiful gift from God.
I have a forever
companion who loves me even on my worse days. I have someone who will be honest
with me, even when I do not want to hear it.
I have a best friend whom I get to have a sleep over with every single
night. Does it get any better than that?
I am truly blessed to call Andrew my husband.
Here's to our first year, and to many more!
