SHE: Survived Year One

 Hey Ya’ll! On June 6^th, Andrew and I celebrated our first married anniversary. The past year seemed to fly by so quickly. It brought so much happiness, some frustrations, lots of learning moments, and fun adventures. Everyone says the first year of marriage is the hardest; if that’s the case, I’m convinced we’re going to be just fine for 100 more. 

Since our wedding, we improved upon our cooking and laundry skills, learned how to “adult” (i.e. pay bills, process taxes, and purchase vegetables), successfully kept 3 (now 5!) fur babies alive, and learned to practice patience, over, and over again.

Everyday brings its own set of stresses, so I am extra grateful to be able to go through life with someone like Andrew. His personality is compassionate, calm, tactful, and he mellows me out perfectly. He also makes me laugh. If you’re looking for the key to having the most fun in life – be with someone who keeps you laughing. It can take your mind off every single worry or problem consuming you.

No matter what season of life you are in, always remember what love is. We can never be reminded enough!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. – 1 Corinthians 13-4:8

Thankfully throughout this year, I was also able to spend it with my fellow SHE’s. I am extra thankful for their support and guidance throughout this year. Whether it be a recipe, cleaning tip, or just words of wisdom, I learned so much from each of them, and I hope you continue to, as well.
