I can’t believe a year (and more) has flown by since we took that first big step together.
I waited 27 years to find (and be found) by the man of my dreams.
And now we’re here – 15 months in.
There’s still so much to figure out. About our future. Our plans.
Where we go from here I don’t really know.
I do know I’m blessed to share my life with someone that cheers me on and cheers me up.
Who makes me laugh and wipes my tears.
Who lets me rest my head on his shoulder, where I feel safe, loved.
And less lost.
Less alone.
Not having all the answers can be frustrating.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed wondering what comes next.
What our next move should be.
But it’s a little easier to deal with, knowing I’ve got great company along for the journey.
Wherever we go from here, it’ll be good.
‘Cause we’ve got each other.
Adventures are better together.
So let's get outta here Love.
I know the idea of Five Minute Friday is to write. Without worrying or editing.
But I struggled leaving those last few words in.
Is it okay to say I just want to get out of here for a while?
Is it okay for adults to sometimes wanna run away?
I think the sunshine must be inciting my wanderlust.
'Cause right now all I want to do is take a roadtrip somewhere, to get lost in a good book on a sunny beach.
I guess I'll settle for the book, for now.
Happy Saturday friends (and fellow FMF'ers).
Thank you for the sweet encouragement on this post.
I love that Five Minute Friday invites us to be raw and open. (That's what makes posting the words so scary, but also rewarding.)
It's incredible finding a community of people from all walks of life who can find common ground in the questions and the faith and...
your words mean so much to me.
Thank you!

Thank you for this, Jen... the reminder of adventure in your sweet reflection here. It's been awhile since I tasted that, and so it's good to see it, sometimes, through another's eyes. Cheering you and your love on, friend.

My husband and I are twenty years in and life has certaily been an adventure and there have been times I have wanted to run away. Thanks for helping me to remember those days when it was all about the adventure and everything was still in front of us.

Loved reading your post and remembering my early days of marriage in a new country.... learning about trusting and acceptance and adventure and not having all the answers...
Thank you for sharing!
