One Year Later

On a happier note, today is our 1 year wedding anniversary!

One year ago today we made a promise to each other, that promise is

"I promise to support your dreams and encourage you to pursue the joys of your soul. I promise to walk beside you on this adventure, as we celebrate our joys and weather our storms. I will never waiver from your side. I promise that each day I will try to be my best for you, and tell you how much I love you. I promise that as the years go by I will never stop loving you, I will be your spouse, your friend, your confidant and your ever present love. I promise that from this moment forward, you and only you will hold my heart."

This is more true today then it was the first time we spoke it to each other. Love is not a feeling, it is a promise and a commitment. Each day I love my husband because I vowed to love him and be with him for every day from here on out. 1 year has taught us a lot and we certainly have a lot more to learn, thankfully life is about lessons and we were ready for the hardships when we began.

Song of Songs 8: 6-7 "Place me like a seal on your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, and its jealousy is as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with everything he owned, his offer would be utterly despised."
