today is our one year anniversary.
it has been one hell of a year, to say the least. we have been handed multiple challenges that most couples could not defeat if met one at a time, over a span of several years. we have loved. we have lost. we have come together. we have fallen apart. we have held tight. we have pushed away. we have laughed. we have cried. we have learned. we have...a long way to go.
and although this anniversary will not be shared in a way any girl would hope for it to be, i appreciate what it is. we are still fighting for it. we are still trying. we are following our own path, and making our own rules. we are agreeing to give with open hearts. and we are writing our future without any rush, one day at a time. we are choosing to work. we are deciding to remember to love.
i cannot promise you this next year will be easier, but i can tell you it will be better. together we will welcome the most perfect little girl into this world. we will both love her and give her a life beyond that of our own wildest dreams. our hearts will be filled with love and we will both, together, be forever changed. and with one change, i promise to you that i will fight every fear in my body and work to make others as well. i will strive to put our marriage in the spot it deserves to be. and that, my husband, guarantees it will most defiantly be better than year one, no. matter. what.
here's to never looking back, but always moving forward...together.
