I've learned so much in this year of marriage and I continue to learn valuable lessons each day:
1. Even though I have a part time job, I am also practically a stay at home wife and I am proud of it. My husband has a job where he is fortunate enough to work from home, but he is a VERY hard worker and I consider it an honor to cook meals, clean for him and just be here for him.
2. Marriage continues to be a give and take, but it's worth it.
3. He continues to encourage me with new hobbies and reading more. I love reading and taking baths now (2 things that I didn't love a year ago).
4. My husband is a great "daddy" to our new lizard and I think it shows that he will be such a great daddy when we eventually have kids.
5. I love to cook now! I hate the dishes after it, but I love to try new recipes (of course they aren't too crazy since I want my husband to like them).
6. Even though times are tough, it's possible to save money and to use it when needed. This helped us in our first year...since we were finally able to buy a house and new furniture!
7. I'm more in love with my husband today than I was yesterday. I often heard people say this about their spouses, but didn't know what this true love meant until we were married.
I am so thankful for my best friend, my provider, protector, and husband. I love you, Craig.
