… I was single.

One year ago today I was a Theuns.

One year ago today I had a fiancee.

One year ago today I was wearing a beautiful white gown.

One year ago today all my family was in town to see me.

One year ago today I held back the tears as I read a sweet letter from my future husband.

One year ago today I was daddy’s girl.

One year ago today…

…was P E R F E C T!

Today, I’m the luckiest girl in the world….Derek’s wife.  Today is the 1 year anniversary of the day I married my best friend.

Well, today is our 1st big milestone of marriage….6 months!  People keep asking “How is married life?”, as if they expected to hear the we are already separated and deciding on who gets which dog.  All I have to say is…it’s perfect.  Not a darn thing hard or trying about marriage.  The key is to pick Mr. Right, not Mr. Right-Now.  That is exactly what I did.  Derek cracks me up on a daily basis, takes care of me when I am sick or feeling down, and knows what buttons not to push.  Did I mention he is extremely handsome?  I mean just look at him!

We haven’t had it easy these 1st 6 months.  We have re-financed our house, the “when we will have kids” discussion, a sick dog, numerous car problems, Derek studying for the GMAT, and various animals living under & in our house.  You just gotta take it as it comes and lean on others when needed.  Anywho….these 1st 6 months have been magnificent, and I am looking to many, many more.

Love you, Derek!

I’m about to reach it in my age and in # of days left until the big day……

Tomorrow is September 25….exactly 1 month until the big day!  Ahhhhhh……I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!
