Nostalgia

I don't know why I have this obsession with nostalgia. I love looking back on memories and thinking about the way that life unravels it's mysteries in the most unexpected ways.

I'm a very nostalgic person and often drive my husband crazy with "remember when's" but... 


I remember when I used to pray for my future husband. Particularly when I was 16, and being married was a fantasy. I used to pray that whoever my future husband may be, wherever he was, that he would be blessed through what he was going through and that he would be prepared for me one day. 
I never would have guessed that at that time my future husband was thousands of miles away in a country I knew nothing about, and working so hard to come here. And if we had met right then we probably wouldn't have wanted anything to do with each other.
But years and experiences later, we would meet at the exact right time, with the exact right experiences behind us.


At 16, I didn't fully grasp the ups and downs and work that comes with even a wonderful marriage, but I know now that those make a marriage even more sweet. 
And even with all of them, he's still everything I prayed he would be.

Happy two years
