Year One as Mr. & Mrs.

Warning: this post may be a little cheesy and sappy, proceed with caution.

In seven days I will have been married to the most sweet, compassionate, loving, godly, handsome, and wonderful man.... my best friend.... my husband- Aubry John Taylor.  I can't believe how fast this year has gone by!  It seems like yesterday that we were with family and friends in Salado exchanging vows and dancing it up at Jack's Barn.

We have definitely been through a lot in this first year of marriage: moving towns, moving away from family, moving houses, starting new jobs, new church, and new friends.  The theme for this year was definitely been all about change.  We have learned to trust the Lord with anything and everything. 

God has personally taught me a lot this year on how to be a wife which means to be selfless, to be an encourager, to be selfless, to be positive, to be selfless, to be a good listener, to be selfless, etc.  Yes as you can probably tell the most important and hardest thing that he has taught me this year is to be selfless.   I have not quite perfected this act, as my husband can attest to, but I continue to work on this every day. 

Now, to get back to telling you about this man that I call my husband.  Aubry John is without a doubt the man that God set aside for me from the beginning.  There are so many times that I think back to the countless amount of prayers that I prayed over him as a young woman, asking God to give me a pure, godly, sweet, handsome, kid loving, family man.  And did he ever deliver such a man and more.  I have learned over and over that God will always exceed your expectations and desires if you really trust Him and His timing. God blessed me with a man who knows how to love me in the most perfect way, how to comfort me, and how to keep me from being a hypochondriac (which can be a bit of a problem:).  AJ encourages me daily to be a better friend, sister, daughter, and follower of Christ.  He is funny, witty, and handsome.  He is the person I can tell my most inner secrets to and talk about my daily struggles with, he is truly my very best friend.   I completely adore him and am so proud to be his wife.  I love you Aubry John, now more than ever.  Happy One Year Anniversary Darling!
