1 year

This past weekend my husband and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary.  We were married on 1/12/12 and had our wedding on 5/26/12.  We insist on celebrating both dates.  We spent Friday night seeing Sister Act the musical and Saturday night in church and went to dinner with a live jazz band.  We reflected over our last year together and how far God has brought us and how close we have become.  In a year's time we were long distance, got married, got pregnant, had a wedding, went on a honey moon, moved in together, bought our first home, had a baby, and now our baby is in heaven.  We did alot in our first year of marriage.  We discussed how different our life would be if BJ was still here and how happy and content we would be celebrating our anniversary at home with him.  We talked about living our dreams and following our hearts together and when we would like to have more children.  1 year down and forever to go I joked with my husband.  This year has taught me to trust God more and that he does not make mistakes.  BJ's death has brought my husband and I closer together for the better and he is truly my partner in life.  I thank God for giving me faith, grace, mercy, strength and hope to make it through these last 7 weeks since BJ has been gone and over this next year of marriage.  I am faithful in what God will provide us in year 2 of marriage and expect many blessings to come.

Keep the Faith!
