First Wedding Anniversary

Today is our one-year wedding anniversary! Time really flies by when you have fun!!

There was not one day that went by this past year I did not feel like the luckiest girl in the world. My sister and I had quite a bit of hardship and responsibilities after moving to the States, and I always felt I had to be a strong, independent superwoman who carries the world on her shoulders. I didn't think getting married was going to make it different for me.

But I was wrong. I now feel much more secure, grounded, and in control of my life. Surprisingly, I really enjoy married life! At first I still operated very independently, to the point sometimes it hurts Michael's feelings. Through constant communications, I learned that the best thing I can do is just to let him show me he cares. All I have to do is to appreciate him! Wow, that was such a simple, yet profound realization. Who said relationships have to be difficult and complicated?

Tonight we went back to Fairmont to have a quiet dinner together. They even let us go back into the ballroom where we had our wedding. We still love every part of our wedding and have enjoyed everyday since then. Our relationship has grown stronger and heathier, and it is probably reaffirming that we married the right person!

I am so grateful that such a loving, caring, supportive man like Michael has come into my life. I am surrounded by great family and friends, have a great career, live a comfortable life... It's no wonder I feel like the luckiest girl in the whole world!
