Some days I walk around my house and am still a bit overwhelmed. We need to clean up our kitchen in a real way, refinishing cabinets, building new shelves, replacing the kitchen sink (I haven't talked to my husband about that last one) :) Our wood floor needs a bit of work, and I still have no curtains or blinds. And so on and so on and so on.
Tonight, I got home and graded for a bit. I placed a blanket down in the middle of the lounge and spread out my work and cruised through the essays. I felt luxurious. I did three loads of laundry, made dinner, cleaned the bedroom, repaired a chair, brought a few decorations up from the basement. I walked through the house and breathed in the air and was overwhelmed instead with a reminder of how far we have come, of how comfortable this house will be for us.
Blaine and I have been blessed beyond measure. Last year at this time we were thinking of falling in love. This year, we are married, in a beautiful home, surrounded by friends and family who are generous with their time and energy and love.
What a difference a year makes.

Yeah, a year ago I wouldn't have believed where I'd be now, either. I'm glad we are both happier with where we are. :)
