A year ago yesterday was the beginning of an amazing journey. It was full of decisions (some small, then others quite a bit bigger), started as attraction and intrigue that turned into love, and continued with sacrifice, praying that the future would only be brighter if we followed His Will. A year ago yesterday was my first date with Mark.
It's been nearly 6 months since Mark left on his mission, and I can honestly say that it's probably been the hardest 6 months of my life. Luckily, I've made good friends and found enough things to keep me busy in order to help the time pass quicker. As time has passed, I've also seen the blessings that have come from the sacrifice that Mark and I have made to be apart for 2 years. His example has helped me immensely in striving to improve myself to be the best that I can be while he's gone, and hopefully that will only continue once he comes home.
I was out running yesterday, and this song came on. I've never noticed it before, I just enjoy running to Yellowcard because their songs are so upbeat. I sort of listened as I was running, but once it was over I repeated it... then repeated it again... then ran faster as I kept repeating it. It seemed like the perfect song to celebrate this momentous day (I've never been in a relationship longer than... What, 3 months was the longest? Of course we were each out of the country for most of that, so I don't really count it as that long...).
Mark... This one is for you! I'm proud beyond belief of everything you have and will accomplish! Aku mencintai kamu, Kekasihku!
