Feels like Yesterday

Man oh man, Will and I hit 2 and a half years of marriage this week and what a ride it has been! From the wedding to the honeymoon to vacations and a baby, we've been through a lot. One month after we graduated from college we got married, moved to Houston, and we both changed jobs after 6 months. With all these things back to back there were a lot of emotions; and then we got pregnant. It's crazy how much of a whirlwind everything was. And if you know anything about astrology, you can probably assume the vibe of our relationship if you knew we were both cancers (July). Were both so emotional and need a lot of attention, so needless to say, it's a constant rollercoaster. But because of that we've learned it takes a lot of love and patience not to use what makes us tick against each other. Marriage is hard work, y'all even through the day to day stuff. Married people can attest to this, but despite what a lot of people may think, marriage is so much different than dating no matter how long you've been together before saying "I do". The dynamic drastically changes and it comes with so much responsibility. Not only do you combine your finances, debt, bills, and everything else, but you also have the serious responsibility of keeping the marriage alive and it's hard. But it's nice knowing you always have someone by your side. Even when times get hard and the relationship gets rough, and believe me it does, it is still so so so worth it. Through all the fights and all the annoying habits, getting to wake up and go to sleep next to someone you know chooses YOU every single day is just a feeling you can't compare. One thing we did before we got married was take a premarital course and let me just say it did wonders for us. We learned more about each other and our pasts than we might have on our own. But in my opinion, the number one thing we took from

it was learning how to fight better. Don't get me wrong, we still have some fights but we just know when enough is enough and we to never go to sleep mad. We also have some really amazing times and get to do so many fun things with each other. Another thing I've learned since having a kid is it is so important to set aside time to spend together and time alone and away from the baby. Everyone owes it to their partner to try their best to keep

things fresh and fun like when you first started dating.We've been lucky enough to get to go on some pretty amazing trips together and those times have been some of the best. From Disney World to Mexico to the Caribbean each has been an adventure that we have made countless good memories from. In all, 10/10 recommend getting married. Its not always easy or perfect, but its so worth having someone by your side who will love you through it all, no matter what.

Love y'all, Tay.
