We had a fun day planned to go explore the north side of Okinawa on our anniversary. Then a typhoon decided that it was going to hit. So we had to cancel plans and were put on TCCOR 1, aka lockdown, and stayed inside all weekend. Which hey, wasn't the worst! We played Yahtzee, battleship, cribbage, oh and put together three, 500 piece puzzles! Ty is the best husband and got snorkel gear for our anniversary, so let's hope a typhoon doesn't cancel our plans for snorkeling this weekend.
This year we experienced many things that I never thought that I would have to, along with many things that I have anticipated. And great lessons came from all of it!
•There is such thing as the newly wed stage. Haha I didn't believe that we were stuck in it until we have started to get out of it! But after that, you start to get so comfortable and learn new things about each other every day.
•Distance makes the heart fonder. You hear this all the time. And then when distance was placed between our marriage, I denied the statement over and over. I did not want to think about the distance in a good way at all! But as time went on and my love for Tyler was growing more each day without him even being here, that's when I realized that distance truly does make the heart grow fonder.
•Marriage doesn't work with a control freak involved. Which is why I am entirely grateful for the lessons I have learned this year about not being able to control things that are not in my hands. It has made my life, along with Ty's life, happier.
•Relying on each other is a great way to love each other. We need each other to make it through anything.
•And I have to add, making a baby together and waiting months and months to meet her, it has brung us closer!
•It was proven to me many times this year, that I made the right decision when I married my best friend.
Love: a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
