Kaye and I got married over a year ago . . . we recently celebrated our first anniversary on June 17th. I'm watching the DVD for the first time since all of our troubles during this first year . . . we've been solid for months . . . and getting moreso each day, but it really seemed for awhile there that we may not make it and that this DVD would be nothing more than a bittersweet reminder of what almost was.
Recently I've been feeling a longing for Kaye that reminds me of the early days . . . and it's a really good feeling. Watching this DVD, looking through old photos, seeing the wonderful memories we have made in such a short time . . . I sometimes forget how incredibily lucky we are.
It has been anything but easy, but here we are. Both better people, a stronger couple, and completely in love. . . . and thanks to the l word, I'm feeling just a bit more proud to be classified as a dyke ;P

Thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind and encouraging words . . . I do really believe that after our first year we will make it through forever . . . congrats on nine years . . . I'm sure it goes so fast. And I totally agree that the hard times are what make us truly appreciate all the good. Just as with anything in life, if we did not know the negative we could never truly appreciate the positive. Happy recent anniversary!

The first year
Hi,
As a coincidence, my anniversary is on the 18th of June. It has now been 9 years... Time does fly and the first year was the hardest I think. Though sometimes other times seem hard too. I like the hard times, they remind us of how precious the warm fuzzy times are to us. Your situation is in my experience common in all couples, the first year of really, is this who I will spend the rest of my life with, really? You'll be fine, trust in each other, always...
Cute dykes rule...
Best wishes,
