Makay and I have officially been married for an entire YEAR today! Where does the time go? It has been the best year of my life. Everybody says the first year is the hardest, but I disagree. This past year will never be remembered as the difficult one... it will be remembered as the time I found true companionship. The first year I woke up everyday to a beautiful face that I adored and many kiss that still make me melt. The first year I walked hand-in-hand with someone who would face every battle with me. The first year when my heart smiled as much as my lips did.
I have learned many things on this new journey of ours...
- Something I have come to understand in my mind but which is still difficult for me to apply is the fact that it is not always right and wrong. It is possible for two people to have two completely different opinions and each opinion can be right! One person doesn't have to be wrong; though, sometimes it would be much easier that way.
- Plainly stated: Boys and girls are different... in a lot of aspects... Pretty much everything I have come to understand can be sub categorized beneath this statement...
- The greatest and most life altering thing I have learned is something which is continually being taught to me... how to love. It is amazing. The capacity of love that one being can hold for another. The only thing that I can compare it to is light. It seems that love and light have the same effects. They each have the ability to instill safety, protection, and guidance. Life is dim--if not dark--without each. I often wonder why it is that love is learned in steps. I know we have all experienced the incomprehensible feeling that we couldn't possibly love someone or something more than we do at that moment. Then a year goes by and somehow that love--that you once felt couldn't get any greater--has had an exponential increase. It wasn't until I compared light and love that I understood this concept.
brighter and brighter until the perfect day."

You are awesome, Alli. I wish that I could be half the person you are! You are amazing and I am proud to call you MY sister!
Allison...you are the most wonderful young woman. You are so amazing I can't believe the wisdom and knowledge you have and how you are able to express it. YOu are only 20 years old and have the wisdom of a 85 year old saint. I love you and am proud to be you grandmother.
Happy Anniversary to you and Makay I hope that you did something wonderful to celebrate.
Love,

You've been married a year??? When did this happen and why didn't anyone tell me!!!!
Hi Alli! I miss you! I wish we could hang out more. I know that you are really busy though and it's just not meant to be. Maybe sometime in the future. :) I love your post with all of the pictures of your wedding and what you've been up too! Check out my blog sometime! love ya! See you tomorrow in dance class. Hope all is well!
well Ry and I started to talk about it now that we were back here and settled. And since we are having a hard time with getting pregnant "life is what has happened to us when we had other plans." lol! So now we decided that since I am so close (doing a minor and two clusters) that I should just go for it...even if I do get pregnant. So yeah...if all goes well we should actually graduate at the same time. :) I am way excited!
I miss us hanging out though...we have to at least write on eachother's blog so we keep in contact ok? Because otherwise we will become strangers again and I really don't want that! :( I thought you would be proud of me with my blog...I finally figured out out how to work it! I even put music on it! lol! :) Anyway, I will see you in dance class tomorrow. Oh, and remind me to tell you what's up with the fertility treatments! :)
