To Infinity and Beyond!!

On this day one year ago I entered the House of the Lord to marry Curtis James Mitton. It really does not seem that long ago! But I guess in the grand scheme of things one year is not very long, especially considering that we're planning on being together until the end of time.

In the past year so much has changed! We moved halfway across the country.  We have a little house where we're responsible for grown-up things like cleaning clogged drains and fixing broken appliances and just providing for ourselves in general.  Curtis has gone back to school full-time and I'm working a real job so that we can just barely squeak by.  We've learned a lot too.  For instance, Curtis now knows how to sort laundry into whites, darks, and lights, and I've learned how to play Halo (it's all about the little sacrifices).  We've learned to think of each other's needs instead of just our own.  And we've learned how to coexist in a small place with no personal space.

With all of these changes, some things have stayed the same.  We still love each other and love spending time together.  We still have a bright hope for the future where we'll have some kids (2 boys), Curtis will get a job that he loves, I'll get to go back to school, and we'll build our dream home in the country with some land and a big library.  But we have plenty of time for all of that. We only have until the end of time..

(By the way, our anniversary was good.  We got to eat some good Mexican food, although it was so hot that I burned my tongue.  We got each other books (for our future library). And we went shopping for some new jeans because we both really needed them. It was nice to get out for the day and just have some fun together.)
