i think i'll start on one of our blog, just this time. =)
finally, a full circle has reached where it started. our cycle of journeys have not yet end, but it is another great start for something more exciting, frustrating, and loving ahead for chris and i.
today is our 1 year anniversary; a year ago where we decided to be together, where we jumped onto this crasy train ride w/o any safety net. allot of doubts and worries that we came across, have heard a handful of skeptical talks, but we held our heads high and only believed the true meaning of commitment and relationship.
i cannot thank chris enough for what he has believed in me, and in us. his strong confidence in our existence, his conviction that he has me engaged to him (haha!), his affectionate that makes me the happiest girl when i'm w/ him, the list goes endless. ... w/ everyone in the world, i dare not say that i will one day meet them all, but in the chances of meeting my soul mate and dearest best friend, i feel better than driving a Lamborghini gallardo. =D
there were bells on a hill
but i never heard them ringing
no i never heard them at all
till there was you
there were birds in the sky
but i never saw them winging
no i never saw them at all
till there was you
then there was music and wonderful roses
they tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew
there was love all around
but i never heard it singing
no i never heard it at all
till there was you
but i never heard them ringing
no i never heard them at all
till there was you
there were birds in the sky
but i never saw them winging
no i never saw them at all
till there was you
then there was music and wonderful roses
they tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew
there was love all around
but i never heard it singing
no i never heard it at all
till there was you
thank you honey, happy 1 year and many more to come!
Chris' Point of View :
Geez, how do I beat that? Especially with that baby picture.
It's amazing how you don't realize how fast the world is spinning when you are perched up on cloud 9.
The 25th was, in fact, our 1 year anniversary. Its shocking to think how far we have come during this first year together. I think this blog can attest to the growth that we have made during this time.
In Salt Lake, July 24th is 'Pioneer Day'. It marks the day that westward bound mormons settled in the Salt Lake Valley. Their trek was long and arduous. They braved winter storms, and pushed along, praying that they didn't loose their loved ones along the way. To commemorate this day, fireworks are launched screaming into the air, bursting into colors of sparkling light across the sky. It is a day of celebration, a day of remembrance.
While the 25th is our official anniversary, the telephone call that led to our sky high burst of joy and excitement, started late at night on the 24th. I remember hearing the pounding of my heart being drown out by crescendos high in the air. I was unsure and excited as Natalie and I talked about the possibilities and challenges that stood before us.
A year come and gone, I look back and see the storms Natalie and I braved, and the rough terrain we crossed. As the night commemorated success in pioneering western frontiers, for me the fireworks were just as much a celebration of Natalie and I. Natalie is the sparkling light in my northern sky; I am excited to continue our voyage.
