Well, here we are! Eight years later, and what a ride it has been. I never would have guessed when I met Tom (just 9 1/2 years ago) where my life with him would take me. I never expected to leave North Adams. Now I've moved not only to Boston, where we lived a great year together and had a beautiful wedding, but also to Portland, Oregon for 7 full and fabulous years, and now to Charleston, SC. My life has been full in ways I couldn't have imagined. I still can't believe I have been to Italy, or that I got engaged there. I can't believe that I've learned to ski (mostly) and scuba dive. I became an Orthodontic Assistant all thanks to Tom's patience and persistence.
My life has been full in ways I never would have expected or predicted. I can only hope that Tom feels as blessed to be married to me as I feel to be married to him. We have had our rough spots, and at times it has been lonelier then I ever thought it would be, but being married to Tom has made me more independent and self reliant then I would have been otherwise. Our marriage has been a fine dance, one that I hope we keep dancing for many more years. Right now I am deeply in love with my husband, I can't imagine my life without him. I have grown as a person in his presence, and someday I only hope I can be half the woman he sees me as.
