One year ago I married the man of my dreams. It is such a weird sensation to think that time has gone by so fast, and yet feel like he has been the most important part of my life for so long. They say that the first year of marriage is the hardest. I'm not sure if I agree. This year has been hard. Hands down. It has been one of the most stressful and emotionally trying years yet, but our marriage has not been hard. Sure, there was an adjustment period, and Steve still prefers to have his own bathroom (not that I'm arguing with that), but our marriage is stronger and happier than I ever expected.
Through this very tough year I have learned a lot about this man that chose me, and because of this year...
I trust him more
I learned to turn to his strength
I cried less over little things, and he share in my tears for the not so little things
I am more patient
Life feels more stable
I have a deeper testimony
I have laughed SO much
I have learned how to be more supportive
I am more confident
I am happier (the deep down smile for no reason at all happy)
I am a better person
I am more in love!
I don't know how many years I felt resentful that my knight in shining armor was late, but I've realized that he was EXACTLY on time. I've learned to trust that my Heavenly Father really does know me. He sent me the person I needed the most, when I needed him the most. I am so excited to grow with him more each year, and I hope that I can continue to learn to be as loving and supportive to him as he is to me.
Steven, I am so thankful you are mine! ETERNITY!
