Today is the happiest day of my life.

How many times has a person uttered that phrase and meant it flippantly, or said it with sarcasm or just plain overused it? But when I say it today, I mean it with every fiber of my being.

A year ago today I had the honor of becoming forever entagled with my best friend, the love of my life. A year ago today we stood in a castle in Ireland amongst friends and family and pledge our undying, everlasting love to one another. I simply cannot believe that it has been a year. And at the same time it feels like so much longer. But in a good way.

I know many people will say that the happiest day of my life will be when our child is born, which in a way is true, but without THIS day, our baby would only be a far off hope, a dream.

I am happy to be spending the rest of my life as Dylan Rose Stevens, wife of Ezekial Thomas Stevens. I thank him every day for picking me, for being with me. I know I'm not easy to handle, baby...but somehow you put up with me.

I love you.

Forever.
