Beaches are great for discovery, wandering thoughts and the soothing sound of nature. My husband I celebrated our first wedding anniversary this weekend with some time away on the Washington Coast walking the shore and opening conversations.
They say that the first year of marriage is the hardest and I hope that is true. If this past year is any indicator, we should be rolling into smoother waters anytime now.
Nothing is like we had planned and thought we would be a year down the road from our wedding day. That may or may not be a good thing, the judges are out.
When they say blending families is hard, they are doing everyone thinking to merge two families a disservice. Blending families is horrible, don’t let anyone sugar coat it. It is like giving birth. If they really told you how it was, more people would skip it all together. And by some gift from God, you forget how bad it was by the time you decide you want to do it again.
I thank God we have made it this far and I look to Him for guidance in the years to come. I have told myself and my husband we are not in a sprinting event, this baby is a marathon. A marathon I don’t care about winning, as long as we set our own personal record by seeing it to the end with God’s love and assurance.
I Have A Love Story
