One Year!
What a year Kari and I have had! Exactly one year ago today, we were about to start dinner at our wedding reception. What an amazing day we had. Tons of family and friends, a rocking wedding party and of course - the now famous “Dirty Dawson” drink at our reception. It is hard to believe that magical day happened a whole year ago.
Since then, we’ve been to Aruba and back, got pregnant, bought a house and had our beautiful daughter Elliott. I can’t think of a better way to spend a year. I sit here typing this entry and I hear my wife and my daughter in Elle’s room playing after a diaper change. Elliott is happiest right after a clean diaper, laying on her changing pad. Given the foulness that she can fill those diapers with, I’d be happy to have a clean ass too. Hearing my two girls together laughing and “talking” fills me with a happiness I didn’t know before.
I’ve found myself thinking that a lot in the past year. Simply put, I’m happy. Kari and I truly found our perfect match. Things aren’t always perfect and aren’t always easy; but our love endures, is unshakeable and grows each day. I’ve had a life full of amazing friends, great experiences and more - but the last year has been the best of my life. I know that Kari and I have many more to come. A big thank you to our friends who have joined us on the journey and an even bigger thank you to our families for helping make this first year so memorable.
Looking forward to many more wonderful years with Kari, who is truly my dream girl.
