vacation

Adam and I spent our one year anniversary and first significant vacation as a married couple at Lake Okoboji this past week. Most of our time was spent in a cabin with my family at my childhood vacation spot. I loved every minute of being on the lake and it was so fun to see Adam fitting in so seamlessly.

I am a water girl at heart, so the sailing, skiing, swimming, jet-skiing, boating, floating, and walking by the water were the perfect vacation.

A lot of people have asked Adam and I how the first year of marriage was and the question is usually followed with the statement: the first year's the hardest. I can honestly say that we had a great year. Admitedly it was a hard year, but not so much because it was our first year of marriage, but because my whole identity seemed to change. I don't think I could have made it through the year without Adam sitting there next to me, holding my hand, and encouraging me with his unconditional love and acceptance of who I am even when I didn't even know who that was.
