One year....

OK so it's a little late, but James and I spent our 1 year wedding anniversary in Glacier National Park in Montana. It was BEAUTIFUL. More on that to come....

It's just so hard to believe it's been a year already! You can read all about it here,
We've be thrown a few loops in the past year.

I hated my initial home health job I was working after the wedding. DESPISED IT. Unethical, questionable illegal practices, not good for my license.

We moved THREE TIMES within 3 months of being married.

James was laid off in January. AND THE SAME DAY, he was also called back up to active duty. Thank God we got out of that one. He's still looking for a job. Keep praying he'll find something soon.

James lost his grandfather rather suddenly to a fall where he bumped his head in April. Two days after falling, he lost consciousness and never regained it.

But through it all, we've remained the best of friends. Yes, we have our disagreements but I can't imagine sharing this adventure we call life with anyone else.

James, thank you for a wonderful first year of marriage.
Thank you for the anniversary trip to Glacier National Park (more to come on that.)
Thank you for loving me.

On our anniversary, I want you to hear the vows I said to you.

I love you more today than I did then.

James, today I join my life to yours.
Not merely as your wife,
But your fun in life,
Your comrade in adventure,
Your accomplice in trouble,
Your ally in conflict,
I will be your strength in need,
Your greatest fan and your sincerest critic.
I will be your lover and companion,
Your partner in parenthood,
But most of all, your friend.
From this day forward
You shall not walk alone
My heart will be your shelter
And my arms will be your home.
