...almost there...

I cannot believe it has almost been a year since the day Jason and I were married! Sometimes I think "It's only been a year? I feel like I've known this man forever!" but other times I think "ONE YEAR??? I swear it was just yesterday we decided on eternity!". We have had our share of ups and downs but through it all we have learned that the most important thing in the world is each other. It is so cool to feel our relationship strengthen with each passing day and to become closer than we ever thought possible.

Just the other day we had an experience that ended up really letting the light in on how we felt about one another. It was a defining moment for me, to hear Jason express how much he really feels for me and how much our relationship truly matters to him. I was filled with joy and love. I couldn't help but feel a flood of emotions take over me and after the flood came and went a sense of peace overwhelmed me and in that moment I was reminded of all that matters in this world. My family.

I am so proud of us. I am so excited for our future! Marriage really is a huge commitment and it is hard work at times but it is the most fulfilling work we have ever done. To have the opportunity to serve my husband and give to him my heart and soul is so freeing and fills me with a light I can't describe. The best part though, is being given the same in return. To know my husband is always there to be my confidant, my lover, and my best friend is more than I could have ever asked for. To know he only wants the best for me and is willing to do everything in his power to fill my life with happiness is the most incredible feeling.

Thank you for this past year Jason. Thank you for all of the laughter, long talks, late nights, movies, treat runs, lazy days, adventures, and everything in between. I am filled with a stronger sureness of my decision to be with you every new day. I look forward to the many years ahead of us and the new things we will come to face together, not doing so by looking at one another but looking in the same direction as one another and walking that path together, side by side, hand in hand, most likely with our fur camo hats on.

I love you.
