It has been nothing less than an incredibly fun and full of love year.
I can honestly say that.
I remember so many days and countless nights where I truly wondered if I would ever find someone to love me the way a husband should...the way a daughter of God deserves.
I honestly doubted ever finding a boy that would love my crazy emotionally-sensitive self.
I have learned it was never that I didn't deserve it, it was that I didnt believe I deserved it.
To this day, I still struggle.
I often feel like a failure and hold myself to a very high standard which I almost always never reach.
However,
This husband of mine has taught me
(although I sill have my moments)
there is no need to be perfect.
In fact,
its impossible.
And that he loves me so much words cant express.
(no matter what)
I remeber a week or two after I was married thinking;
"I have never felt so much like where I am in life-my role at this time-is exactly who I am meant to be and what is going to make me the happiest."
Outgoing
Loud
Talkative
Friendly
Social
Teacher
Friend
Daughter
Sister
that is me.
But Josh's wife-that is my favorite title.
Love you Mr. Josh Figueroa
So thankful your mine.
Cheers to infinity more years!
