One year ago, I had certain expectations for our marriage. I knew we were moving to Boston, I knew Kyle would be a good husband, I knew I would do my best to be a good wife. But, now, I can say that Kyle has exceeded all of my expectations this year. He's gone above and beyond to be a really great husband. I've loved every single moment of it.
I love being married. I love that Kyle and I can communicate in a million different ways. Through words, looks, vibes. We get eachother. The more time I spend with him, the more I love what we are together. I love that Kyle makes me feel that I could do anything. He gives me confidence. As cliche as I know it sounds, I truly feel that there is little we couldn't do if we set it as a goal. I am so very Proud that Kyle is my husband.
So, for memories sake, I want to list a few memorable things about the past year.
Moving to Boston - our first apartment that didn't have enough electricity to run the toaster AND the microwave at the same time - learning about snow - cuddling under blankets watching TV when we couldn't figure out how to work the heater - learning the city together and seeing the sites - making my first pot roast - decorating our skinny wal-mart christmas tree, and loving it - being hired as a full time employee - buying our first red sox shirts and finding a bar to watch the world series in - doing taekwondo together and meeting a new region of friends - moving into our new apartment and loving it - shopping for our first real furniture - eating ben&jerry's ice cream while watching the primary debates - watching Apple keynote presentations together - buying our first computer together - a hug every morning, afternoon, and night - kyle taking care of me, and me of him, when we were both very sick - April fool's day - our growing excitement about this child.
Words cannot express how much I love Kyle, or how overflowing with happiness I am at our life together. I'm just bursting at the seams with gratitude, excitement, and wonderment at what our lives are...and what they will become.
