365 Days Ago

On May 8th of last year, I married my best friend, my one true love, and my knight-in-shining-armour. These past 365 days have been the most amazing, challenging, fun, exciting, and rewarding time of my life. I have heard it said that usually the first year of marriage is the hardest. At times it has been challenging, but you always have to fight for what you truly want. I joked with Stephen and said now that we have made it the first year, it should be smooth sailing from here! He laughed. :)


Looking back, it amazes me how much God has blessed us. We have a beautiful home, new car, great jobs, and quickly paying off our debt! Who could ask for anything more? We are enjoying this journey that the Lord is leading us on and are looking forward to what He wants us to do in the future. We are also truly blessed for the incredible people we have around us who are helping guide, mentor, and direct us in the adventure called marriage. We couldn't have done it withou them!


So with that being said, Stephen Thomas Richardson, I love you with all my heart and only you can make my heart smile. Since the first time we kissed to the day we said I do a year ago Sunday, I have never looked back. You are truly my soulmate and I look forward to what the future holds for us. I pray the Lord will continue to guide us on His path. You are more than I could ever have prayed for or asked for. I love you more.


God gave me you. :)
