marriage.

life is funny.

you blink, and a year has passed.

you blink again, and you're married.

at least, that's how it feels.


this past year has been a colossal learning experience.
God knew i needed some direction. some encouragement. and someone to challenge my ideas of what life looks like.

and He gave me the most qualified candidate possible.

marriage has been a completely different animal than i had ever expected.
elements of it that i worried would be all-consuming ended up being non-issues.
and areas where i thought i'd coast...well, God's still working with me on most of those.

and it has been an absolute blessing.


i wouldn't trade it for the world.
and i'm pretty sure Emily wouldn't either.

more to come.
unless i forget.
