A Heartfelt Thank You!

To anyone out there who has been following our  crazy ride. Thank you. This month marks a year of blogging. One year has come and gone. Time has drifted along with the wind and was swept away from us. A year ago we were announcing our wedding and now we are patiently awaiting the arrival of our bundle of joy.

I have always been in fear of time, probably because there is never really enough of it to complete my day and once the day is done, the future is here. We can never go back like Doc Brown and Marty. There is no regret in my past though and there is nothing but thanks that can be given to all of the people who waltzed in and out through the years. The scenarios in which helped me become the person I am today. Time allowed me to meet the greatest husband a young lady could ask for and of course marry him in just two short years of knowing one another. I never would have dreamed that this is the path being planned out for me.

I always dreamed about my future in high school. Sometimes I would act out different sketches in my mind. I would own this car in college and I would be taking these classes. I would graduate this year with this degree. I could live here and decorate how I wanted. Like a typical college kid. DUH!

But what if Doc Brown knocked on my door at this moment and said, "Hey, hurry! We need to go back." Would I take it? What would I say? What would anyone say?

Josh and I had this whole blog planned out where we would each take turns in writing letters to our "Senior Self." The more we thought about it, the more silly the idea really seemed. There is no turning back and what would we do when we got there? We both really just want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for following us and letting us open up to you. The future is going to be crazy raising a child but we wouldn't change it for the world.

Josh says: I am super excited to become a daddy and I can't wait to brag to everyone that I helped create a little life that will one day grow up and terrorize its mom and me. The future holds something amazing for us but we will have to cross that bridge when we get there!
