As part of our wedding festivities, we had an advice dinner with both of our immediate families. It honestly was one of my very favorite things we did all weekend. As much as I love just laughing and taking it easy with those I love, I crave opportunities to share and listen to what's in our hearts. We don't get to do that enough. I love being real with people and sharing who I really am. Anyways, my sister-in-law (Emily, how I love her!) shared some advice with us that I've been thinking about this week. She gave us the advice to cherish one another and to just be grateful that we have each other, that we have someone that we love and that loves us. I don't think a lot about my life before I married Robbie. It's not that is was an awful time of life or anything (I LOVED so many aspects of college life), I am just so happy to be where I am at and to move forward as a married couple. However, I do remember how hard it was (at times) to be single, to not have anybody. I wasn't the girl that had boyfriend after boyfriend (in fact, Robbie was my first real boyfriend). I learned how to be independent and make my own happy, but I remember the times when I felt so sad and lonely. I remember wondering why I wasn't dating anyone, why I wasn't married yet, and doubting the possibility of it ever happening. Not the best of times.
But, hey. The point is that I remember what it felt like to be single, and I never want to take advantage of the fact that I am married to a wonderful man that was well worth the wait. I will always cherish the fact that I am his and he is mine. God is in the details of our lives, my friends. He has an amazing plan for us all!
