Two Years And So Much More
Two years. Where has the time gone?
In two years, we’ve gotten a house, two dogs, and more love than I could ever imagine.
One year ago, I was just starting to realize that functioning as a unit isn’t a bad thing:
I’m finally starting to realize that being a little dependent on someone isn’t always a bad thing, and that leaning on each other and fostering each other’s successes and building up each other’s spirits and supporting each other’s endeavors can, actually, help us become better people apart than we ever could be, but to do that, we need to function more as a unit than as two people who happened to marry each other.
Today, we are more a unit than ever before. Additions like dogs and a mortgage can make or break a coupe, and it’s definitely made us. My mother-in-law said something interesting this weekend. She got engaged very young, and she said that you can do that and have it work out as long as you grow together. Personally, I think this is the key to any successful relationship: you must grow together.
The past year has given us many challenges, but Tim and I have talked, agonized over decisions, and come out the other side on the same page. We’ve pulled each other through sorrows and celebrated each other’s successes. We’ve grown closer. We’ve grown together.
I can’t wait to see what this next year brings, because I know that, whatever it is, we’ll do it together.
I love you, my favorite.
Happy anniversary! At least that’s what I think you’re talking about. 🙂

I couldn’t agree more. A and I have been going through some big changes in the last six months or so, and none of it would work if we weren’t on the same page and evolving in similar ways. But we are. And it’s so exciting and a total blessing. So the fact that your challenges are bringing you closer together is wonderful.
Happy anniversary, you lovely people!
Happy anniversary!!
INTERdependence is a beautiful thing! Happy anniversary to you!
