Forgive me. This post might be slightly gushy and romantic and all of that stuff that, in the past, I would have been like, “oh, seriously. get a room.” But, I just have to take a quick moment and reflect on the past year. Crazy. A year. Andy and I have been dating a year and it feels like just yesterday that we started spending time together…and it feels like a lifetime that we’ve known each other. Ah, love. It’s such an amazing thing.
And, it is the most challenging and frustrating thing!!!
I don’t think I’ve ever been a completely selfish person (I have my moments, trust me), but being in a relationship really challenges you to BE better…not just SAY you are going to be better. There are so many times that I don’t want to dig deeper or try harder, but the thought of what it would mean for our relationship and future makes me do just that. Or, if I’m really stubborn (and, that’s not often at all…haha), I get called out on the carpet. And, really. That’s just no fun. But, it’s necessary.
I can’t even begin to put into words what my life has been like this past year. So many things have happened, so many changes have been made. But, through it all, I have had the most incredible, most amazing man by my side. I can’t wait to jump into this NEXT year with him! Yippeee for love!
