Honestly... it's been the best year. It's been more than I could have imagined. Everyone says that the first year is the hardest... but I really have to disagree. I think in our case we have a lot of love and respect for each other, and nothing is ever "expected"-we help each other out-so we really and truly have a partnership which I think was a great way to start things off. Sure we had our few bumps in the road, but every time they came about we knew it would soon pass and we'd be on our way again. I've been very thankful to really be able to share a life and a home together.
Our second year married is going to be huge. We'll be meeting our first little one, which we are, of course, sooooo excited about... we'll be facing a year-long deployment, which will be tough, but will make us appreciate each other and the time we're given that much more. We'll both be turning 25... we're getting old! And shortly we'll be deciding where we want to go for our next four years with the Marine Corps. No pressure, huh? I think it'll be just fine. It'll be interesting, and we'll learn a lot.
I was asked a question today: Are you doing what you thought you'd be doing at this point in your life? My answer is mixed, but for good reason. Honestly, this is the life I always dreamed of-married to my best friend, soon to be a momma, living by the ocean, college degree completed (even if I'm not using it right now)... but I never thought I would get it all. And I have it. How very blessed am I?
