one year ago this morning, chris and i said vows, exchanged rings, and became husband and wife. when i think about that day, i'm filled with so much awe and gratitude. it was just the best day ever. we were so moved by God's love for us and so overwhelmed by our family and friends who were there to support us. it was such a worshipful experience for us and hopefully everyone there. i wouldn't have changed a thing. (see the highlights here!)
but as thankful as i am for that perfect day, i'm even more thankful for the last 366 (leap year) not-always-perfect days. this last year has been a whirlwind of transition -- new marriage, new roommate, new town, new friends, new church, new jobs... no family nearby, no best friends nearby (thankful for whitney in okc for a few months!), no school (which consumed my life for the last 19 years), no girl roommates, no texas, no good mexican food... i mean, it's been an adjustment. but again, i'm so thankful. in all the transition, we've been forced to lean on each other. i wouldn't trade it.
our friends, katelyn and walker, celebrated their 1st anniversary recently, and i love what she wrote on her blog. i couldn't agree more, but i often forget: "Through this year of countless laughs and a couple of tears, we have realized it can be so easy to long for someone else's story. To desire a different path -- one that might seem more adventurous, more carefree, more romantic -- but at the end of the day we have each other and a chance to write our very own unique story, and it can't get better than that!"
i'm so thankful chris and i get to write our story together. he's the most patient, steadfast, funny, persistent (read: stubborn) person i know, and i couldn't be more thankful to call him my husband.
dear thawed cake, PLEASE be good.
