Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated our first anniversary. We have been through so much together in the last 12 months. On one hand, it seems like we’ve been married forever. On the other, I can hardly believe it’s already been a full year! One thing is for sure — with all the good, the bad, and the ugly that’s occurred since April 23, 2016, there’s no one I would rather have standing next to me through it all.
Just a few weeks after we were married, we learned we would be picking up our lives and moving away from the home and family we loved. {I talk about that a little bit here.} Now, let me tell you — if you want to test your marriage, sell a house, move your life into a two bedroom apartment that is infested with mice, start two new jobs, buy a new house, move again, and still try to adult through it all without losing your mind! Friends, it’s hard, but it can be done with the help of the good Lord and your best friend by your side.
My husband is my best friend and I feel so lucky to be able to spend each day with him. He is a cutlery and firearm connoisseur, Corvette driver, video game aficionado, and spicy food chef. He swears he isn’t a dog person, but he spoils Pippa more than I do. He is always on my side, but doesn’t shy away from giving me a reality check when I need one. He’s been apart of my life longer than he hasn’t and I’m so thankful that almost 11 (!!) years ago, he asked if I wanted to go to the Sonic to get ice cream.
Our love story is unique — as all love stories are — and maybe someday I’ll share it. But for now, I just want to give a big shout to my man for being awesome. 🙂
Happy Monday, friends.
