Of A New Chapter

If anyone is still reading this blog,
they might be surprised by the tone of this entry.
Neither sad nor cynical.

and this is why

Okay, you might ask why I'm showing you a picture where everyone looks weird.

I couldn't resist. He makes me smile all the time.

Now, don't roll your eyes and say
"oh, great so now her life is perfect because she has a guy"

"Let me explain... no there is too much. Let me sum up"
in the 9 months David and I have been together there has been:
tears
fights
deaths
struggles
disagreements
worry
frustration
discouragement

AND there has been:
smiles
uncontrollable laughter
new experiences
love
trust
devotion
friendship
hope

and most importantly, a rekindling of our relationships with God

He has impacted my life in so many ways.

People might think things are supposed to go smoothly when you find "the one"
and while our relationship is good, life isn't always easy.

However, we are both the first to admit we are not perfect.
But we both have each others backs. 
We both look for the other person above ourselves.
He is my best friend. My confidant. My sanity.
He knows I'm sometimes an emotional roller coaster (though won't admit it if asked) and that I can be irrational, and despite what i like to pretend, I'm not "always right."

My life is not perfect because I now "have a man"

My life is great because perfection is impossible
and the imperfection of love is amazing in this new chapter.
