1 year!

I'm a little late on posting this, so just pretend that you're reading this three days ago, on Friday the 13th of July.

One year and two days ago, I said goodbye to my boyfriend who was leaving to Hawaii for school, and I cried my eyes out. I told him I wouldn't date anyone else, and I'd prove myself to him that I was ready to get married to him. I was convinced that there was no one else out there for me, and although we didn't get along all the time, and we didn't treat each other well at all, I thought that's the best that life was going to get, so I said I'd marry him.

Two days after that, I went to play Ultimate Frisbee at Carterville Park. It was a blast! The guys were nice, the girls were nice, the game was fun.. It just couldn't have been much better. I was talking to everyone, and everyone was talking to me. It was that day that I decided to invite a couple of guys from the game to join my roommates and I that weekend for a fun night in the canyon. It was also the first time I had REALLY talked to Cody.. Nothing personal, or intense, but we talked. I had no idea my life was going to be turned upside down, two days after I committed myself to another guy.

One year ago today, I met my husband; Sweet, beautiful eyes, awesome at sports.. that's how I saw him last year. Now, we've been married for one week short of 6 months, and he is more than the man of my dreams, inspiring, beautiful, funny, goofy, and loving.

I'm so glad that I got introduced to Ultimate Frisbee last summer so that I could be in the right place when my Heavenly Father decided to show me how amazing life could be, and how happy I deserved to be.
