10 Years

10 years ago I started on the most wonderful adventure of my life...10 years ago at 9:37 PM (yes, I remember the exact time because I wrote it down!), I said "Yes" when Jake asked if I'd "go out with" him. A mere 4 days after meeting this young man who was so polite and respectful, I said yes to more than I ever could have imagined.

I said yes to happiness beyond measure, but not without some heartache, too.
I said yes to loving unconditionally.
I said yes to learning what it means to truly share, and I'm still learning every day.
I said yes to growing up.
I said yes to the best friend I could ever have.
I said yes to hard work.
I said yes to hilarious fun.
I said yes to facing tragedy together, and not alone.
I said yes to growing in my faith.
I said yes to experiencing love in new ways.
I said yes to the adventure of a lifetime with the love of a lifetime, and I'm SO happy did.

I can't believe it's been 10 years. Every moment, EVERY MOMENT, has been worth it.

Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction.
