Today, Melissa and I celebrate our 1-year Anniversary. The year has gone by quickly, between our time in Missouri, here in Kentucky, and then some visits out west. It really has been a great year, and I'm learning a lot about being married--like which towels are for decoration and which ones I should use to dry off my hands. That, and some other lessons, were learned the hard way, but I'm getting there.
One of the greatest aspects of marriage that I've discovered is that I really do love my wife more and more as I am with her more and more. She is my best friend and the person I want to spend time with most. Every day, as I'm pulling on to our street after work, I open the garage with the remote. She hears the garage door go up, so she opens the door in the garage that goes into the house--but just barely, and peeks out to make sure that it's me. When she sees me, she sticks her hand out and waves at me, and it makes me smile every time. Sounds silly I'm sure, but I guess those are the kinds of things that I really love and appreciate.
Happy Anniversary Melissa--the first of many.
