10 months married – eeeeeccckkk!!

Today (this was on the 21st but I didn’t get a chance to post – late again!) is hubster and I’s 10 month-a-versary!

Although 10 months is no special number – we haven’t got anything special planned, it occurred to me this morning when I was telling someone the date.

WOWzzeeeee… you know last year this time we didn’t even know we were going to get married?

We decided early in October – after being engaged for just over a year – that there’s no right time, let’s just do this. And we did. I have yet to make such an awesome decision again!

It was crazy – and beautiful and the above picture depicts everything that I had hoped for. Laughter from the pit of your stomach – love that shows all over your being in amidst the world as it is. A little bubble of happiness between two people.

I digress – the last 10 months have been tough, no one ever said the first year of marriage was tough? But as we close into our first anniversary I am so grateful… these few months have taught me about who I am as a wife, and that I am so much stronger than I ever thought I was as a singleton.

They have taught me that although I had taught myself so much about independence and being able to be alone, that once you know how to be alone – life is better when you are sharing it.

That being together is better than being right.

That things can get bad, worse and then worst – and he (hubby) can still make it better. That no matter where you are at God can always bring you back and that with God at the center you cannot go wrong.

I read an awesome scripture about marriage:

This is where we are at – delving into a process of learning, friendship and trust – take a minute… what an amazing thing to be able to share this with someone.

Today I couldn’t be more blessed with my husband – I love him more than words can describe. (emo beyond!)

An “ah-ha” moment right?

I know.

“Beautifulness” – describes it perfectly. Enough to make a cry-baby like me want to just…

#grateful
