Somebody the other day asked me if I still feel in love with my husband because we spend so much of our time separate from each other. My answer was "everyday I feel more in love."
It's the small moments in my marriage that makes these days go by. A weekend at home with him, pictures sent from a phone, conversations on the day to day life we spend apart.
More importantly it comes down to not thinking about the time apart we spend and thinking about the future we have together. I understand that this is going to be a challenging time in our lives but we have years to spend together. So when I feel like giving up, crying out that it's all too much and sinking under the pain of separation, I think of the future years. Buying our first house, getting another dog, doing the dishes together.
I don't let this time in our lives determine my happiness. I will always hold my head high and look up to the sun. There is always sunshine to be found when he's gone.

First Anniversary!
Bart and I celebrated our first anniversary this past weekend in the Chesapeake Bay area. We adventured into Annapolis on Friday evening and walked around on the bay. Such a beautiful area! We ate at the best seafood resteraunt we've ever been too, O'Learys . Seriously amazing.
On Saturday we visited the World War Two memorial in the morning. We then took the metro into Falls Church to visit my Aunt Alison and Uncle Mark as well as my cousins. It was amazing to see all the family including my sister and brother-in-law. I also got to meet my cousin's fiance as well as my other cousin's girlfriend. It was so much fun!!
On our actual anniversary we went to the Natural History Museum in the morning and staked out a place on the Lincoln Memorial steps for the fireworks. They were beautiful and I'll be sure to get the good pictures from Bart.
We stayed at the Aloft hotel on the national harbor that evening and visited Baltimore the next day.
All in all it was a very full and fun vacation! I can't believe it's been a year since our wedding. The time has flown by. I can't wait to see what the next year is going to be like!
