One Year!

Sorry I've been MIA.  We needed to get our laptop cleaned up and running at top speed before moving.

Anyway.

On April 2, 2011, I took my dog, Bella, to our local dogpark.  It was a hot, sunny day but the park was still relatively crowded.  People were gathered around the tables under the pergola. I don't like strangers so I was off away from them watching Bella play and explore.  It was starting to get uncomfortably hot when in walked a tall redhead with a beautiful dog.  We struck up a conversation and three hours later I had to leave to meet friends for dinner.  And that was the end of my single life.

In the past year, I have gone from being single to married in four months.  We have traveled to several countries and states and numerous cities.  We have adjusted from living life as singles to living together under one roof.  We have found a peaceful balance in our chores.  We have settled into married life quite easily and have enjoyed our time out here in Podunkville.  I'm amazed at how easy everything has been and how everything has just fallen into place without much work and practically no stress.  Stewart says that he believes we were meant to be together and if it hadn't happened at the dog park it would have been another time/place.  I believe him.  We both led such travel filled lives moving from place to place.  When I lived in Key West, FL.  Stewart was living in Alaska.  Yet we managed to find each other at a dog park in Round Rock, TX.  I believe him because in March 2010, we were both in Baltimore, MD.  I was there for an internship and he was passing through on his way elsewhere.  I wonder what it would have been like if we had met then but I also hold on to the belief that everything happens for a reason.

I'm so incredibly happy with my life and excited for the future.  This has been an amazing year for us.  I wouldn't trade it for anything.
