Can I be completely honest with you? I have a fear of blogging. I aspire to be some awesome blogger sharing amazing content, with beautiful photos, blah, blah, blah. That's not me, at least not now.

I've heard numerous times that the first year of marriage is the hardest. This question really puzzles me because our first year of marriage was so much easier than when we were dating.

Colton and I recently read a book called Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs for marriage counselling (Ebay and Amazon). It is probably one of the most insightful books I have ever read. I now understand the male specimen more than I ever have before and have also learned more about myself.

This past month I have had two incredible bridal showers thrown in my honor. One by my own mother and another by my future mother and sister-in-law. I am so blessed to know these ladies, be loved by them, and have their support in my up-coming marriage.
