Exactly one year ago today, Stephen got down on one knee and asked a question that changed my life. Would I be his wife? You bet your Kate Spade slingbacks I would.
2011 was the best year of my life.
I always identified worldly success by the status of my career, the size of my waistline and the amount of money I had in the bank. Strange things happen though when you fall in love, though. It makes you re-think and re-evaluate every priority, every decision you make.
All I want in this world is to succeed in this marriage. I want Stephen to know every day that he matters more to me than life itself.
Next weekend, my paternal grandparents will be celebrating 60 years of marriage. They've celebrated 60 New Year's Eves together.
Here's to celebrating 59 more with Stephen.
Be blessed in 2012, lovelies-
So happy for you Leslie! Even though we don't *know* each other, I truly am glad your dreams came true in 2011! Thank you for sharing your life through this blog.
