Almost a month...

In few days we will celebrate our one month anniversary as a married couple! Isn't that funny! What's weird is I recently read a post from my friend pertaining to her 7 year anniversary. First of all I can't believe that 7 years has gone by already! It seems like only yesterday that they got married. I don't know much about the ends and outs of their marriage however based on what I do know (from her blog of course!) I sincerely hope and pray that Kevin and I are just as blessed throughout our marriage as they have been in theirs. They have a beautiful daughter, they both have awesome careers, and it appears that they have kept God at the center the of their relationship. I'm sure that's why they have been so successful.

As more and more people are finding out that I am married, I have been on the receiving end of advice. It's been very interesting sifting through all of it. I truly understand that I should be prepared for the first year being the toughest year. I have to admit I am a little nervous about all of that. I can't help but think or ask the question: does it truly have to be? I mean I know that there will be a day where the "honeymoon" ends and the realistic view of marriage kicks in but if the two people "prepare" for it...can't the drama be avoided?

The first month has been great for us. I know for me I have really noticed a shift in my thought process. I am very proud of my ability to get over my childish and immature ways when things don't go the way I want them to. I am also impressed in my ability to think of Kevin and his needs without a second thought. It's funny when I walk in a store and pick up a bottle of his favorite Vitamin water or record a show I know he wants to watch (because he's at work) without even thinking about it. I have even had the moment where I didn't feel like cooking but did it anyway because I knew that he was tired and hungry from working a 13 hour shift. It really feels good doing those things because you truly love a person and you know the value they have in your life. I can't thank God enough for blessing me with Kevin.
