A Lot Can Happen In A Year...
Back in the days when tormentedartist and I were still in that "I-like-you-but-we're-not-yet-a-couple" stage I wrote a story titled "A Lot Can Happen In A Year". (It's around if you dig... but the content is somewhat adult so you have to dig a lot.)
The way things really went down between B and I is very different from the contents of the story I wrote. Most of this last year has fallen on the mundane side of things - not that it's not been good! Real life tends to be more mundane than extraordinary. That's just how things go.
Having said that, a lot HAS happened in the last 365 days. Starting with one very significant event: we got married.
My vows expressed the idea that that day was an ordinary day that would now be extraordinary to us. This remains true. Today is an ordinary day in that babies are born and people go about their lives just like any other day. The main difference is: exactly one year ago today my best friend and I decided to cement the bond that story started to forge 5 years ago. It's a bond that's weathered hardship and worry while making the joyful times more wonderful. It's also a bond that keeps getting stronger with every passing day.
A lot happens in a year. It just so happens that on an ordinary day, 365 days ago, I married my best friend.
Thank you, tormentedartist, for being the best husband a girl could ask for. I love you.
