Love is a funny thing. It gives you the wings to fly wherever your heart wants to go, and it is also the most filling piece of humble pie. I have become so much more of a woman with you, and I have realized my flaws and things in myself that I need to work on to be more like Jesus. I met my love almost 3 1/2 years ago, and married him a year ago. This Easter Sunday marks our 1 year anniversary. I have been thinking on our relationship all day, as I have been home sick, and letting my mind wander. I've thought about who we were then, and who it is that we have now become. So many things have changed in the two of us; we are older, wiser, more experienced in life, more independent. In him, I see so much more of a softer side, more compassion, and so much patience and wisdom. And in myself, a more bold woman, who is no longer afraid to stand-up for myself, and my beliefs. I cant help but wonder if these are qualities that we have brought out in eachother? I know that he has made me a stronger, and more confident individual, and they say that when you fall in love, that person makes you want to be that much better. He is my world, my best friend, my husband, my teacher. In realizing where we have changed, I have also remembered so many aspects where we have not. We are still constantly laughing, enjoying eachothers company, listening to eachothers thoughts,dreams,fears. I find it so comforting to know that everyday I come home, he will ask me "How was your day." As small a thing as that is, it's endearing that my husband actually cares. Some people are not so lucky, and I dont ever want to forget how much that means. I don't ever want to take that for granted. One thing I know, is that I am constantly amazed with God's hand on this man's life. Caleb is a man after God's heart, and it shows every day, and I see Him in his face, his eyes, his actions, his temperment more and more each day. This is something that I have always admired in my husband. It's something that I am so thankful for, because he constantly reminds me that we are living for something bigger; something more than work, and bills. Thank you Caleb, for the first year of the rest of our lives. You are my best friend, and I cant wait to write the next chapter with you. I love you to the moon and back.
