A lot of things have happened in the last two years. I would like to say that I have grown into a beautiful woman from what I consider, looking back, just a simple girl. I am proud of the person that I have become. I have grown in many ways (I will always be a child at heart). I have learned not only to forgive but to forget. I look past people's flaws. I embrace every aspect of myself while always trying to better myself as much as I can. I look in the mirror and see a beautiful, colorful person who is worth getting to know. It's so much better than what I used to see.
A short time ago, just over a month, I married my best friend. He brings joy and happiness to my life, we complete each other in ways that I never knew existed before him. Every day is a celebration of the love that we share. Every smile, every tear, every argument-- it's for each other. It's for every day we have been together and for every year we will remain together as husband and wife.
Our life together continues to change rapidly. We are hoping to have a house built for us in the near future, which is a dream come true for the both of us. There are only a few things that are standing in our way: we need to be approved for a personal loan in the amount of five thousand dollars. This money will go towards paying off our medical bills we have so that we can get approved for the ninety thousand dollar loan for our house. Next, we have to pay off the majority of the five thousand dollar loan in the next six months while they are building our home for us. And last but not least, he and I have to survive six entire months of living with my mother while we are between homes. The last to points, of course, are assuming that we get the personal loan.
After being an adult for the past four years and living on my own for the past four years, I think living with my mom again will be very difficult. I know it's for the greater good, and I know that by doing this we will be helping both my mother and ourselves. It's just been so long since I have had to answer to anybody it will be hard on me to be living under my mother's roof again. May the universe grant me patience.
