My worst fears are those associated with the unknown. Deciding to share my life with some one else presented many unknowns and things I might not be able to control. Christopher and I are so different… yet he had become my closest and best friend.
I didn’t tell many people of our decision to be married. I didn’t want the voices and opinions of other people in my head to confuse me - I have enough on my own ;) I also thought there could be a slight chance I'd get cold feet - the fewer witnesses there were the better. (Hey! I told you I was scared!)
(If you feel left out because I didn’t tell you - join the club. I assure you that you are in A LOT of good company as we only told family and close friends).
As I now look back a year later I am pleased and grateful I didn’t turn around and run away. :) We have had a great first year together full of growth, opportunities, blessings and adventures together. There’s definitely been tough times and long nights as our stubbornnesses have clashed. Yet through it all our love and understanding for each other has deepened. I always tell people the Christopher is the best wife I could ever have - he cooks, cleans, shops, and even packs me lunches for work! He's so much more to me than that. He's my strength when I'm weak and my shoulder to cry on. He takes good care of me and adores my family. He honors me even when I feel like there's barely anything to like about me. He's patient, generous and good. He's the first to humbly admit his weaknesses and looks at himself to be better so we can both be stronger together. Heavenly Father really is watching out for me and blessed my life years ago when he brought our paths together :)
Here's to the best choice I never quit. To our first year of many more to come!
