“Hellooooooo?” I raced through the door and called out to my
roommate, so anxious to share my news that I could barely contain my
excitement. I had just experienced the
most magical night of my entire life, and I could not wait to tell her about
it. Sure, it had only been six weeks
since this wonderful man had come into my life, but time and logic are
irrelevant when you are in love. When he
had asked me to marry him earlier that night, I did not hesitate before
answering. I knew, I just knew that he was
the man of my dreams. He was the man I
wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
I threw myself across my roommate’s bed and declared dramatically, “He
is the one!”
At our wedding reception a few
months later, when the best man gave his speech, he looked me straight in the
eye and half-jokingly warned, “I hope you are ready for an adventure.” He had no way of knowing, of course, could
never have predicted what an adventure it would turn out to be! And through it all, through the times when my
heart felt like it would explode with joy, and through the times when my whole
world was rocked to its core and I did not know how life could possibly
continue, he is the one who has been with me every step of the way.
