One Year!

No, we haven't been married for a year, but we have been married for exactly 2 months! However this month we decided to celebrate something different. This month we wanted to celebrate the day that eventually led us to the happiest day of our lives—the day we started dating. This month has been filled with lots of tender memories remembering everything that went on when Aaron and I first met and started getting to know each other but it's been so much fun to reminisce! Remembering the day we met, the way we felt, the way everything between us changed, and watching it all fall into place was so exciting. But going back and re-watching everything in my mind now just makes me fall even deeper in love with Aaron AND our story.

For those of you who don't know, Aaron and I met in early September 2010 right before Labor Day weekend at a Root Beer Float party that our apartment complex was hosting. I had just gotten out of a relationship that had ended pretty badly and was NOT intending on getting involved with ANYONE. He, not having even been home for 3 months yet was pretty much in the same mind set. His plan was to get his associate degree and THEN start looking. Well, we see how well our own plans worked out. ;)

Over the next week we had fun hanging out, going to devotionals, jammin' together on our guitars, etc. but it wasn't until a week after we met that I started to realize my feelings for him and let me tell you, it TERRIFIED me. Falling for him was something I couldn't seem to help despite all my reservations and determination not to get involved with anyone. For some reason, everything felt so comfortable and right. Being with him was easy. I eventually told him about my reservations and why I was scared but he knew what he wanted. He asked if kissing me would be moving too fast but all I had to say to that was, "you can kiss me or not, either way it doesn't matter to me. But if you do, you better be 110% sure that's what you want 'cause if you kiss me, there's no going back." Lucky for me, he did kiss me and neither of us ever second-guessed his decision.

Forgive me for sounding like a mushy newly-wed but I truly believe every moment with him has been blissful and perfect. Sure, we have our moments like any couple, but we're just as in love today—if not more—than we were that day he first kissed me. <3
