If you would have told me a year ago where I would be today I would have never believed you. I was certainly happy with where things were going at that time, but now I can’t imagine my life without Stephanie and Emma.

My friend Bridget has long been describing to me how when her and Andy started dating they just knew it was right. She always said when it’s right you will just know it without question. To be honest I had always thought she was full of garbage. I also used to think it was ridiculous when people would get engaged without dating for at least a year or two. But then I met Stephanie. She is more than I have ever hoped for in a wife, so needless to say that I am thrilled that she is the one who will come into my old house and make it a home. Bridget told me she thought that Steph could be the ‘one’ the first time I mentioned her, and as it turns out Bridget knows a lot more about relationships than I had given her credit for!

At any rate, I am excited for what lies ahead for the 3 of us and am thankful for all the support from our friends and family. Things are so drastically different than I would have expected a year ago, and yet my life has never felt so complete and full of purpose and direction as it does right now.
