Time and Change

I am amazed at the way time can change a person's life. The last time I blogged, I was an emotional wreck. I was trying to cope with missing what I had; I was coming to terms with where my life was; and I was wrestling with my feelings on my current relationship. Oh, how a year will change you. I do not know if it is just because I am still relatively young that my life can change so dramatically from one year to the next, but it seems that I am constantly experiencing something new. So, when I got back from Ireland, the next month my boyfriend proposed to me. I had decided after I got back and had a little freak out that I loved him and could see myself with him. It was odd because I do not love him the way I have loved in the past, but in some way, I feel like this love is more real. It is not about the drama, excitement, and romance. Maybe, I was in love with the drama, with the story of what we were. Now, I feel like I am in love with a genuinely good person. With a man, who will stand by me no matter what. With someone who I can love and respect. Someone who can take care of me as I take care of him. We were married on February 9, 2013. The time leading up to the ceremony was calm for the most part. There were a few instances of stress. But, I had a great feeling of sure-ity, when I said my vows. I said them; I meant them. I was overcome by peace and happiness that day.
