You can bet that the next six months were spent very impatiently awaiting Martin's arrival to Denver. But finally, after two years, he made the journey to the big city that would now be his home. But this time instead of tears there were smiles that couldn't be stopped.
We felt complete again. This was the way it was supposed to be. We didn't have to plan days in advance of when we would get to see each other. I could eat dinner with him on a Tuesday night if I wanted to!
Martin arrived in Denver just in time to help me put the finishing touches on our wedding plans. Our wedding day would take place in a small Colorado town, overlooking the mountains with our closest family and friends.
When I look back on our wedding, it makes me smile. It was a beautiful summer morning and as I got dressed I nervously waited for the moment when I would get to see my groom for the first time.
When it was time, my dad walked me down the stone staircase reminding me to breathe. He held onto my shaking hand and as I finally looked up all I could see was Martin waiting for me.
We made our vows to each other, exchanged rings, and sealed our love with a kiss all while the birds chirped happily around us.
We had started our life together as husband and wife. After seven years we were finally married. It was, is, the best feeling in the world to know that you get to spend the rest of your life with your best friend.
It's been two and half years since our wedding day and I am more in love with my husband than ever. I still sometimes can't believe that he chose me to be his wife. We have been through so much these past two years that have made us stronger and more thankful that we have had each other to grow side by side with.
And now with the start of a brand new year we are about to begin our newest and greatest adventure together yet...
