A year ago today, I stood on the beach with my toes in the sand, and said everlasting vows to the man that I am going to spend the rest of my life with. We had a small ceremony on the beach in Florida, and it was my fairytale come true; with our closest friends and family, an oceanfront view, and lots of love and laughter surrounding us.
They always tell you that the first year is the hardest, that is advice that every girl should know! However it always gets better! That first year you are both still learning how to live with each other, you are still learning each others flaws and bad habits. So it takes time to adjust from just being together to living together. There was times that I would just go sit outside in my rocking chair because I felt like I could rip his head off. So I would tell myself that its not his fault, he is adjusting the same way as I am adjusting. He didn't choose to live 12 hours away from the family, the army chose this for us and we have to make the best of it. But Chris and I do not fight like normal couples, we can get into an argument, go cool down for 15 minutes and come back and ask if we should go get ice cream. Its how we work, and it works for us!
I can honestly say that yes this year has been hard, but it has been the best year of my life. He makes me laugh on a bad day, he takes care of me when im sick, he is the person I run to with good news, he is my safe place and for that I love him so much. Our life is blissfully amazing, and having Reisse just made our bond even stronger. When I see how great of a Dad he is with Reisse, it makes my heart melt every time. I am blessed with a romantic, funny, smart, and nurturing husband and for that I will be forever grateful!!
