Le hubby and I celebrated our first anniversary together while we were in Hawaii (way to kill two birds with one stone right? Christmas and anniversary? check!) It's crazy to think it's been a full year. And yes everyone says it, but the time really does fly. Maybe not while you're in the moment, but looking back it's hard to imagine all the little moments that made up the days, so it seems like the year has been shorter than you remember.
Honestly? The first year of marriage had so many great things, but it also had hard things too. Learning to communicate with someone who you care for so much can be difficult. Sometimes your feelings for them cloud what you are really trying to say; sometimes your feelings block your ears too (guilty!) Despite those hard times though, we both found comfort in knowing that we were there for each other. We just knew that, deep down in the essence of our beings. I think that fact, that peace of knowing you'll never have to battle life alone, is the most beautiful realization I have had this year and we look forward to winning our battles together.

ReplyDeleteand isn't is the best thing going into a new year knowing that you know nothing of what the new year will hold but you do know who you will be walking through it with!
