It’s 3:12am and to no surprise, I can’t sleep. There are so many thoughts buzzing around my head that it’s impossible for me to drift back off to dreamland. I truly can’t believe that it’s been one year since I said “I do” to my best friend and the love of my life. It feels like yesterday when I had butterflies in my stomach from the excitement and anticipation of being in the bride and groom limelight. I feel overwhelmed with nostalgia looking back on our wedding day, and an immense amount of love, happiness and gratitude living in the present day. I know that one year will quickly turn into five, ten and twenty years, so for just one second, I want to stop the clock and allow time and life to standstill so I can bask in the glory of today without it passing me by too quickly.
Not only does today mark our one year anniversary, but I’m also at the halfway point in my pregnancy. I’m truly amazed at how much we’ve accomplished together and how far we’ve come in our first year of marriage. As lay here in bed, all bundled under the covers, wide awake with insomnia feeling my baby girl kick, listening to my husband sleep beside me and writing this blog, I couldn’t be happier. Because I truly couldn’t ask for a more loving, respectful and wonderful husband and father to our baby girl. I feel lucky everyday to have met him and have him in my life. So to my husband, here’s to one year and halfway there, babe! I love you and our wonderful and crazy life more and more every day, and more than words can say! Here’s to many more blissful years of marriage, love, life, health and family together.
With all of my heart.
