December 23, 2014 started off like any other day. I didn't have much going on so I decided to sleep in a little and then head to the dance studio and work on some choreography. I was finishing up and about to head home when Katie walked through the door. Usually she is happy to see me, but she seemed concerned. I figured maybe something happened that day that was bother her so I just shrugged it off and went home to shower and relax for the rest of the day.
At some point after my shower my mom asked if I could come out and help her bring some presents in from the barn so she can wrap them. I agreed, but thought it was slightly suspicious how she asked. Once we got to the barn we started walking up the stairs to the storage area, but I could see something was different this time. I could see Christmas lights coming from the top of the stairs, and all I could think of was "is this the moment? Is Josh going to be at the top of these stairs?"
And there he was. standing in a cove of white material plastered with photos of us and Christmas lights all around.
Afterward his family was downstairs waiting, and we had a big family dinner together. It was such a memorable day and now here we are one year later, married! A lot can happen in 365 days.
So I want to dedicate this blog post to Josh. The most loving, caring and talented person I know. He is such a strong man of God, he is a great husband and he is so handsome to top it all off! He has dealt with my crazy emotions, and my episodes of depression. He has taken me on adventures, he has held me tight when I needed it most and he has done the dishes when I was too busy to get to them. I am so blessed to have Josh in my life and I thank God that he has brought us together.
I also want to thank Josh for choosing me to be his partner in life. I stated in my vows that "being married to me might not always be easy, but I promise it will be worth it." that got a few giggles from our family and friends, but it is true. He is stuck with me for better or for worse and I truly thank him for making that covenant to me. I wouldn't want to spend my life with anyone else.
I love you Joshua!
