We made it! Caleb and I made it! Today is our one year anniversary!
Can I get real with you for a bit? This year was really, really difficult, and I just want to let you know how thankful I am that my husband and I had this first year. I knew that things wouldn't be peaches and cream. Smushing two lives together into one tends to be a little sticky sometimes, and I'd heard many times growing up "The first year is the hardest." Well, I didn't know it would be this hard, and I didn't know it would be this hard because of these reasons.
