june 23rd was our one year anniversary. we didn't get to do the traditional celebratory eating of the freezer burned wedding cake because our cake was ruined when our apartment complex caught on fire... but we did get to sneak away to fayetteville and relax for a little bit.
after a year, im just really thankful for timmy. i had no idea what a good man i was marrying a year ago, i knew he was good, i just had no idea the width and depth of timmy's heart. it has been incredible to watch him take care of me and become responsible for so many things. i've loved seeing him take care of people in need, and care about people who don't get cared for, and to volunteer to do things most people don't want to do. i've really enjoyed understanding how to love him and serve him and see how he does the same for me. i've loved reading "created to be his helpmeet" by debi pearl and crying so hard realizing how mean i was being to timmy when he was just being himself... and watching our relationship change as i changed my attitude and having people notice a difference...
we've taken so many roadtrips... countless drives to arkansas, to kansas, to iowa, to indiana and illinois.... basically the whole midwest... watched the office over and over and over... survived an ice storm (thanks to the udells) moved a few times, met our deductible, learned to love God together, learned to love each other, googled several different symptoms to save trips to the doctor due to meeting said deductible, made tuna, burned dinner... you know... the usual first year of marriage stuff...
it has been incredible. and i wanted to document this year as a reminder to myself to always pour this much love and energy and effort into our marriage as long as im alive.
i am crazy about my husband.
love, kate
