Nate and I have our first wedding anniversary in a few
weeks. When people tell you that it goes by fast, they aren’t lying. For the
past couple days I’ve been reminiscing about our last year together and just
how grateful and blessed I am to truly have a husband who supports and loves me
to no end. Looking back on our first year of marriage, I’m proud of us as a
couple. Some people say that the first year is tough, but for us, it wasn’t. I
think this first year we have built a great foundation, especially because we
have really mastered communicating with each other. Focusing on paying off debt
has driven us to communicate openly and clearly with each other, and that has
transferred over to all areas of our life. This past year we have also
done a lot of “dreaming” for what we want our of life together, and that has us
both excited for the future, short- and long-term.
I’ve also been thinking of what kind of wife I am and want
to be. With Nate and I both working, Nate studying to be a CPA, me coaching a
dance team, and us both taking care of the dog, it can be difficult to focus on what
the other needs and wants. But I think I’ve done a pretty good job at
supporting Nate with all of his endeavors. And I know
that, essentially, him getting his CPA will hopefully enable me to become a
stay-at-home mom. So for that I’m sincerely grateful. I cook and clean a lot,
because I value it and actually enjoy doing it in our marriage. I love when I’m
able to have dinner cooking and hand Nate a drink when he gets home from work. Call
me traditional.
We started this blog as a way to work through the "burden" of paying off debt, but it has become a blessing because in doing so, it has taught us more about who we are in our marriage, and has taught us how to work together.
This is the very first picture we took together, only a few days after we started dating. Now we will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary in a few short weeks. Exciting times are ahead!
