One Down and Forever to Go.

The Kiss that started it all....

And now almost one whole year later I am more in love with my husband than ever imagined possible. I am so excited to find out what two, three, four, five.....twenty-five years of committed love will be like.  

This year has been sweet, so sweet. Full of surprises, a small amount of tears, tons of laughter and so much love. Wes is an amazing husband so full of life and adventure I feel like everyday is something new. I feel like since we have been married I have come more alive than ever - coming into all that God made me to be. It's fascinating what a covenant relationship looks like on earth, I can only imagine the depths of covenant relationship with God. 

Intimacy - In-to-me-see: I have seen/ heard this in multiple books and teachings. This is absolutely the truth. I think this applies not only to marriage but to relationship with God. Opening up and allowing all the good, bad, and ugly to be seen. I have noticed that this has been difficult for me with Wes. There are times when I just say "I'm fine" or "whatever" or "hmmm doesn't matter" when that is NOT at all what I'm feeling. I have really had to press in and open up this first year - and allow him to really see into me. I feel so silly sometimes with the things that "hurt my feelings" :), but it is important to be known. We were created to know and to be known. We were created for deep intimacy - not just with our spouse, but also with our creator. 

This year as I have gone deep with Wes, it has allowed me to go deep with God. I am so thankful for the hunk of man that I married. For him creating a safe place for me, and pulling me into new depths and new heights. He is a man to follow - that is for sure. I have never seen such character, respect, and honor. So here's to one glorious year, and for forever to come. I love you!
