oh, the places we have gone...

Last weekend, we celebrated our first anniversary. We had a grand day planned that included sleeping in, hiking and picnic, and then dinner at the Lobster Trap in downtown. On the Friday before, however, I got a call from the kitchen manager at Windy Gap (where I dream of working one day) offering me to come out the next day (our anniversary) and work in the morning. And of course, because I have the most amazing husband in the world, he insisted that I go. Then, when I got home around 2, we both took a power nap that turned into a 4 hour snooze-fest. When we finally woke up, we both decided we had zero desire to get up and get dressed and so instead put our pajamas on, ordered a pizza and watched netflix. OH, and then we ate our year old wedding cake. I love Hubs and his laid back attitude. He celebrates me every day and is so much more passionate about my dreams than even I am.

I've been reflecting a lot lately on all that we've been through. We moved from the big city to a place where there is so much green, it makes you think you must have never seen real trees before. We were unemployed most of the summer last year and found jobs and worked our way up to the point where we're almost not poor. We've danced and laughed and cried and played and fought and fallen in love over and over again. I look at the way we saw each other then and the way we see each other now and can't believe we actually got married. In comparison to how we are now, we barely liked each other then! But now he's truly my best friend. He says he knew I was the one that first night we met and I could have never seen him again and never thought about it. And I'm really glad that despite my resistance, he embodied what a truly godly man looks like when he pursues a woman. And he's continued to pursue me ever since.

So here's so the next 70 years! If they are as good as this first one has been, I will die a very content woman.
