It was a year ago this very mintue that Darren and I commited our lives together as husband and wife. I cannot believe that I have been a married woman for an entire year! It has gone by so quickly and at the same time when I think back on everything that has transpired over this year, it feels longer than a year.
I can honestly say that this has been the best year of my life. Being married to the most amazing man on the planet and being able to share every moment with him has been nothing short of incredible. To say that a lot has happened in this year would be an understatement. I was just reading over all the posts I wrote in our first year of marriage and I was so happy and giddy after reading them. A lot took place but even reading it I felt the joy in the words I wrote just as must as I feel now, even more.
Getting married was such a huge step to take. I remember how even in the midst of being the happiest, I felt so sad because so much was changing for me. I was so sad to leave my parents home, leave my dog, feared I wouldn't't see my brother or sister anymore, I would no longer be a Davis but a Reeves, I didn't even know how to sign my new last name and would find myself still writing Davis at times. I just had a lot of anxiety about the changes that were going to take place. Now that everything has changed and its been a year and we have adjusted and really settled into our new life together I can look back on those fears and recognize them but also know that they weren't near as bad as I thought they were going to be.
Living with my husband makes me happier than I could ever be. He treats me like no one else ever has. He loves me like no one ever has. I feel like the most beautiful, loved, cherished woman in the world whenever I am with him. To be able to build our home together, create new memories and traditions as one has been amazing. He is the greatest thing to ever happen to me. He gives me hope for our future and takes care of me so I don't have to worry. He is such a hard worker and I admire him so much. I pray that when we do have children that they have his work ethic because I have never met anyone like him who gives 1000% everyday with everything he does.
I have loved our one year of marriage together. It could not have gone any better than I hoped for. I get excited when I think of all the years yet to come that we get to share together. I think of when we have kids and how great of a dad he will be, when we buy our first home, all those things, they make me so happy and excited.
A brief recap of the major things that we went through in our first year of marriage;
We had two weddings to get through, one here and one in England which both were so beautiful and so special. Our first month of marriage we were separated. Darren had to stay in London until we heard from Immigration which was the hardest time of my life. When we did finally here from immigration they ended up giving us wrong information which led to a lot of stress and money being spent out for many months. Darren experienced his very first earthquake. I started a new job with LAUSD and couldn't't be happier. Since working there I have been sick more than I can count on my fingers from all the germs these kids have and am praying that next year will be better like everyone tells me it will. We were able to celebrate our first Christmas together and the best part was his family from London were able to come as well and experience America for the first time. We were able to travel back to London with my best friend and travel all over. We went from having nothing in our apartment to being totally blessed and now live in a full and well stocked apartment. we got to watch God bless us from right to left with everything that we have needed. We have been able to watch each other grow into the husband and wife that God ordained us to be (still have a lot of work though lol) It has been an amazing year.
When I think back on this year I can do nothing but smile. Getting married was the best thing i have ever done and marrying Darren was what has made it everything is has been. We have grown together as a couple. My love for my husband is so much stronger than ever. I wake up and look over at this man, this man that loves me, that takes care of me, that makes me laugh and is there when I cry. I wake up with a smile on my face every day because of the man I married. What more could you possibly want.
:: Dear Jesus, I thank you for the amazing first year of marriage that you blessed Darren and I with. It blows my mind away to think of where we were when we first started to where we are now. You have been so faithful to us and have seen us through every struggle and trial. I pray that in this next year of marriage you would continue to grow us into the husband and wife you want us to be. I want to be better for my husband everyday. I pray that you would continue to provide and your hand of blessing would always be there. Thank you for all you have done. Thank you for Darren and the amazing husband he is. Thank you for bringing us together in the weirdest way. I can't thank you enough. This one year of marriage has been the best year of my life and I pray that you would bless all the years to come in our life long journey together. Amen ::
