Tomorrow is our one year anniversary.
A few days ago my beloved turned
to me and said, it’s almost our first
anniversary….my mind roamed
frantically. Was it a romantic
anniversary, the day we met, the
day we first dated, the day….
did I forget something?
One year ago we slept the last
night in our little condo, Boo
terrified by the lack of furniture
and the noise the bare echoing
walls made lurked under the blow up bed all night.
Little did he know what a adventure he was in for, sharing his life with two dogs on the farm, and then another move into a great big forever house with his very own territory to roam in.
His life has changed so much for the better, and so has ours. Dreams do come true, we know that, sometimes they change a little, well a lot along the way, but they are still the dreams that you dream.
I am thankful that we were transplanted up here when we were. My family has gone through a pretty stressful year, there’s been cancer, illnesses, laughs and love.
I would rather be here to share it with my family then down on the coast, aching to be with them. Those five hours of driving have kept us too far away, and I don’t know how we would have dealt with it without being here.
Now we live where we only once dreamed of being…
It’s been a year in more ways than one.

Happy Anniversary, Jen! I didn't follow you back when you moved so I'm glad to hear that it is a reason to celebrate. It's always nice to live near family, especially when you need them. Wishing you many, many happy years in your Forever Home!

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary..
ReplyDeletelike Jane, I wasnt around at the beginning of this journey, but so glad I found you here in blogland. I wish you and your family good health and happiness.
Happy Anniversary! It flies by pretty quick. Life is full of surprises and changes. I don't like living far from my family sometimes but I know that I made the right decision to settle down in Tucson. And if you need to, you are 5 hours away or a hop skip and jump by plane:) Happy Friday! And congrats!
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog, too. Glad the move went well for you and yours and that you are enjoying your new home. Sometime, when you have time, you might could catch us newbies up. Love the pictures. So peaceful looking.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary.
Dreams do come true when we set our goals and make our plans, they often don't just happen. It has been a pleasure and fund to take that journey with you as you searched for the new home, packed up your lives and went to live your dream. Of course there are bumps along the way, but those bumps only make the dream better.
ReplyDeleteI have certainly enjoyed following your trials, tribulations and adventures over the past year. I'm sure you will have many more happy years in your new home.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad things worked out well for you. Families members are often so far flung.
ReplyDeleteSo very happy for you, Jen. God's timing was perfect. It is a blessing to live near family. Wishing you guys a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteGod put you where you needed to be JUST when you needed to be there. Happy Dreams Come True Anniversary. xo Diana

Moving is always hard and always a risk, so glad this turned out to be the right decision for you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Boy, a year goes fast, doesn't it?!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the one year anniversary. Glad to hear your move was the right choice. We have been here 3 1/2 years. No desire to go back to Vancouver. But we are away from family, and miss them a lot.
ReplyDeleteHappy new home anniversary! The years pass so quickly now, each with its own particular joys and sorrows. I am glad you are near your family now, and I wish you many wonderful years with them.
ReplyDeleteA year already!! It seems like yesterday, that you were packing and moving. Here's to the next year, may everyone you love have a wonderful future!!
ReplyDeleteJen, I am so happy for you that you have found your dream. I know this has been a difficult year, but it has definitely been a blessing that you chose this time to move closer to your family. I wish you many anniversaries of joy.

ReplyDeleteYes a year!! Good thing you are there to be the rock..or a port in a storm. I know your dream has changed a little..that happens as we get older:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Jen...so glad this new adventure has been what you hoped for.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Jen...I've been away from blog life for a while.. Personal health issues etc.. I am SO happy for you that you are now closer to your family. I SO understand that. I am far from mine and I am hoping and praying we will be able to move back home near them within the next year.. I miss them terribly and need to be near them so I get it.. Again, Happy Anniversary :)
