We have made it happily and more in love now...than ever, through our first year of marriage. That is not to say we haven't had our challenges and tests. But we have grown incredibly close as a couple and feel blessed to be together.
With this being our second marriage, there is a lot to be said about learning from past experiences. We have been intentional about spending quality time together and growing as a couple in the things we choose to do. Steve has shared with me an appreciation for several new hobbies and adventures I have never known. We share interests I didn't even know I had! Listed below are our top ten things we enjoy doing (in no particular order).
1. Playing Texas Holdem' Poker (yes, we are quite the card sharks)
2. Country boot scootin'
3. Going to the movies
4. Experiencing new foods at different restaurants
5. Cuddling every night at the end of our day and in the morning before we get up! (It is incredibly powerful to share these simple moments....TRULY my favorite parts of the day)
6. Going to the dirt track races. Steve used to drive, so it is fun for me to watch the excitement in his eyes as he reminisces.
7. Mall walking
8. Taking weekend trips
9. Swapping neck massages
10. Spending time with our families and friends
Steve has shown me what it means to live my life with meaning, to be intentional and make memories with the experiences that life offers us. I am so grateful for his companionship, friendship, and love.
