One year later

On the day of my last post, Feb 13, 2009 (which I've deleted because it's no longer relevant) I met the man I am going to marry. It makes me smile that this year has been so kind to both of us. 2008 was crap, 2009 was transitional, and 2010 has been stable. In a wonderful way.

I am sitting here in our living room, two states away from where we started in a city on the edge of coming into it's own, and feeling like I'm exactly where I was always supposed to be. We've both had pretty miserable paths that we wouldn't trade for anything because a different route would not have taken us here. I never feel unfulfilled anymore. I used to feel like I was missing out on something, that extra spark that everyone else seemed to be able to muster in their lives. Now I have it. All these intangible, wonderful things have come together to make life a three dimensional experience. I am so grateful.

I still don't know a lot of the details of life, but I do know that we have an idea of what we want and what we're going to do to get us there. Direction is half the battle, and we continue to move forward.
