2 Years In

Today was our anniversary. It was also the first day of finals week. So that means that our celebrations were limited to a "happy anniversary babe" in the morning and....yep, that's about it! We always eat dinner together, so luckily we were able to take some time to talk about our lovey dovey feelings, but as far as celebrating, today just wasn't a good day. Tomorrow we've set aside time to go out to dinner and possibly see some Christmas lights so I guess we're not completely lame :)

But despite our busy, basically ordinary day, I couldn't stop reflecting on my marriage thus far. Happily, these reflections left me feeling great, because honestly, I've been incredibly blessed in the whole marriage department.

I feel bad for admitting that, because I know many people struggle in their marriages. I don't want to wave my marriage around as something perfect, because it's not (nobody's is!). But I also don't want to pretend it's not wonderful, because it is. I believe in looking for the positive and acknowledging it. And so here I am, acknowledging it. Because I truly love my husband and I know he truly loves me. Through the thick and the thin I can count on him. And for that I am grateful. It was nice having a day to reflect on that :) Now back to studying!
