A year later...

What a year!! In just one year, I've gotten married, gained 3 children, moved, and swapped my cool car for a mini van.....and I couldn't be happier!
After my divorce, I never imagined I would meet someone who would love me. I really didn't feel like I deserved it after failing at marriage once. To tell the truth, I was pretty happy with my life.
I liked it being just me and Reynolds in our cozy little apartment. I liked that I got to choose how to raise him. I liked that I had a place for everything. I liked sharing my bed with my baby boy every night. Then, Josh came along and blew all of that out of the water. I didn't want to be alone anymore. I was excited about trying to love and share my life and child with someone. The past year since we've married has been different than any relationship I've ever experienced. I respect Josh and I want to please him. I want to speak to him kindly and I care about what he has to say. I want to be his partner in raising a family. There are definitely tough times. Blending a family is not easy. There are challenges every single day. But I've never thought about giving up and the good times make all the challenges worth it. I can't say I understand why God thinks I deserve this love, but I'm thankful he's given me another chance.
Thank you Josh for a perfect first year of marriage. I can honestly say I feel more love & passion for you every single day. Seeing you lead our family as a husband and dad is really amazing. You are my best friend. I love you boo-berry!
