Celebrating our first year anniversary: That one year flew by. It feels like we've known each other forever, but it also feels like we've just met. I really understand the idea behind loving someone more as time passes. Before I got married, I was skeptical when others made this claim. That's not the case anymore! I feel blessed that I no longer have to wonder.
Taking the plunge, moving forward: I should say, moving East :). The day we found out Jose was accepted at his first-choice law school was one of the best. For years we each dreamt of moving to this side of the country, for two completely different reasons: Jose wanted to study at one of the best law schools and I just wanted a white Christmas and snow ;). Looks like we both got what we wanted! (But I have to admit, when October and November rolled in, Fall definitely became my favorite season!)
The plane ride into Boston: We were leaving everything we knew behind. Starting fresh with so much to look forward to. I still remember how I felt and what I saw as the plane landed. Old New England homes lined up right next to the port, the perfect post card image. Of all the times I've landed after taking a trip anywhere, I never remember seeing homes like that. It's not just the way they looked either; I've seen the New England style everywhere. There was something very inviting about this scene outside the plane's small window. It almost felt like I was in a life-size snow globe, except there was only the hope of snow. As soon as I stepped out of the airport, reality hit me in the form of a humid East Coast heat wave.
I can't believe it's already 2009. I'm posting this about a week after the 1st; I can't keep up with time because I'm trying to take everything in piece by piece. It isn't that it's too much. When life was harder, every day seemed like a year because there wasn't much to savor. Now I can enjoy the aftertaste of every passing moment.
