Day 28- A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then


YEAR AGO
I was in Jackson, Wyoming experiencing a lot of "firsts" such as whitewater rafting, trail riding on a horse, going on a ski lift, hiking up real mountains, swimming in glacier lakes, seeing bears and moose pretty much on a regular basis. I was also about 30+pounds heavier and very lonely. I was trying to find my way and just felt lost most of the time. While I loved most of my time there, I don't want to go back and be that person again.

TODAY
Obviously I'm married. And that, my friend, changes everything! I have someone who loves me. I will never be "alone" again. Whether I like it all the time or not, I now have an eternal companion. Someone who forces me to not think about myself constantly and who has enabled me to overcome so much. Someone who comforts me in those dark moments when I feel unable to continue. That alone, is worth everything. Even though I'm so much happier than I was a year ago, times are hard for us right now, I know in the end we will make it, and be better and stronger for it!

Oh Dasha...that first year! I have very fond, but VERY hard memories of ours. Whew. Glad we're past that, but glad we lived through it! You know what I mean now, you are so much stronger together after those hard times!!
