On the road!

We are on the road. On the road to New Hampshire! I can't believe we are already doing this. I can't believe my husband has graduated from Pharmacy school. I can't believe we are less than a month away from moving completely to Manchester.

I wish I could take you back to six years ago, when I met Jason for the first time. He sat quietly, just outside a group of people I knew. He was hairy. Like ape hairy. Every hair connecting to another hair,  hairy.  But attractive. Jaw-droppingly so.

I wish I could take you back to that moment he looked at me, really looked at me for the first time.

I wish I could take you to the moment he didn't get in to pharmacy school. And we sat together, quietly crying.

I wish I could take you to the time Jason told me he had been on a waiting list, and he DID get in to Pharmacy school. :-)

I wish I could invite you to go star gazing with us on the night he proposed.

I wish I could have you stand next to us on our wedding day.

I wish I could explain how six years ago I couldn't comprehend where we would be now. I wish I could explain how I knew I would marry this man, though. I knew before we started dating that there was something about this boy.

I wish I could explain how LONG 6 years of Pharmacy school feels. But in the same breath I would have to tell you how QUICKLY it went. How in a blink of an eye I was staring at a handsome man from across the room, then holding his hands, then saying yes to his proposal, then standing beside him promising forever, and now...adventuring forward. If I get to spend forever with this man, it won't be long enough (so cliche right? but so true) 

How did I get so lucky? I have a family that supports and loves us both. I have a husband who wants to love me.

 I  hope I remember all of this on the days I feel too far away from my mom. (Happy Mothers day!) And the moments when Jason and I are fighting about NOTHING, which of course will happen. Every good marriage has a fight about the bed sheets at some point, right?

I'm a lucky girl.

We are on the road!

Thank you Jesus for all of the blessings and lessons you've provided me and Jason.
