a year and a half

today, we've been married for a year and a half!!  when i think back to engagement, each day seemed to take so long......i counted down to our wedding day, and it felt as though it took forever to make it to the double-digits.  less than 100 days!!!  finally!!!  time will fly now!!!!  no.  we were in the double digits for (what felt like) most of our lives.

so it's funny to me how the last year and a half have flown by.  it's odd that this is going to be our second Christmas together as a married couple.......wasn't it just a week or two ago that mike was asking if he could hold my hand??  (i said no.  you would never guess it from the way i hold onto him now!)

this season of our marriage, i am most thankful for forgiveness - that mistakes or wrongs don't have to create permanent fissures in our marriage.  coupled with that, i'm so aware of mike's love for me.  he knows me better than anyone else, but still is in love with me.  it doesn't get more precious than that, folks.

i've been saying it for years, and expect to say it for years to come.  i don't deserve my mike.  i'm so glad he's mine.  i adore you, baby!!
