Continuing

Today, Colin and I have officially been married 18 months! Yay!



I love him more every day. He was the best decision I have ever made in my life.

Competent

I discovered a talent this past couple weeks. I am a competent welder. Who knew?

This is a bad weld- not mine:


These are good welds, also not mine, but they looked like this:



While I don't really want to post my actual welds, just know I am telling the truth. Colin can attest. (I may have good welds, but my sculpture skills are lacking in the extreme...) Anyway, the sculpture class is over. Thank goodness. I never knew how difficult it was for me to think in 3 dimensions til now...

That's all.

Almost Better

Colin is braver than I am. (Exhibit A)

I see it every day. While this situation we are in has completely stunned me--left me doubting most everything I am capable of--he is strong. He can see a bigger picture. While my mind can see and even understand what he sees, my heart is not as understanding.

While the church is still true and I love Colin with all my being, there is still an ache for what should be--an ache for what we should have been doing with our lives at this very moment. We knew it was a good and right thing to do. Now, I'm afraid this ache will never go away.

We are happy. Especially when we are together. But we are just almost better. Or maybe it's just me. I'm almost better.

But it'll be a while yet.

Beautiful 2
