The First Year

One year ago today, I married the most wonderful man! This is a big day for me. Aside from the fact that we are celebrating the wonderful journey we have gone through this past year, I am having an internal celebration.

Allow me to explain. This is my second marriage. When I was nineteen, I rushed into a marriage with someone I barely knew. Needless to say, this was a huge mistake. What I thought was going to last forever lasted only four months before I ran screaming for the hills. The details that lead up to this are not important, just the fact that it lasted as long as it did.

After the split, I kinda gave up on having a relationship with anyone. I focused on working and finding myself again. About a year and a half later, I began to notice an old friend of mine paying closer attention to me then he had before. When I had a bad day, he was there. When I needed some help with repairs (things I couldn't do myself), he was there. One day he offered to come over and upgrade my computer so I wouldn't have any problems when I was online or working on anything simple. While he was at my house he cooked for me, cleaned up after himself (that's important to me) and we just sat on the couch watching a movie and fell asleep in each others arms.

He never left.

Believe me, we have had our ups and downs (they both equal out) and we even had times where we thought this was the end. But we stuck together and got through it stronger and more in love with each other. Hell, this was all before we were married.

Our wedding day was beautiful. Small, we were poor, but beautiful. We found a nice little hall that had a good sized room for what we wanted. All the important people were there. We didn't have a lot of food, fun or entertainment, but we had love and family so that is all that mattered. Our minister was our best friend so that was something nice that we share together with him.

Even though this year has brought us a lot of headaches, heartache, and trying times, we made it, and we are still very much in love. Now that we have gotten over the hump of the first year, I think we can tackle anything else that comes our way....

Like....Kids! Well one can hope that will happen soon. Hell, we've been trying for the past three and a half years....I think we are due a beautiful child right about now!
