My One and Only Love

I am learning that the Lord is my strength. Without the Lord I am nothing. I am starting to come into my skin. I am starting to love who I am and what I have. This doesn't mean I am trying to be complacent in my life, but to continue to strive to be the best me and more like Christ.
As a women, I go through my ups and downs about my looks, body size, and my moods, poor Nate. Lucky I have a husband who accepts me for me. Never in my life, have I had someone who accepts me for who I truly am. Nate knows who I am and still loves me. He often says that he learned who I "truly" am the day we got back from our honeymoon. I think that it took me so long to be "me" because in the past who I am or was had never been "good enough" or "right".
I am very thankful to be married to Nate. Our relationship isn't perfect, but it doesn't have to be. I heard a quote the other day that said, "Marriage isn't about marrying the 'perfect' person, but about being the perfect person". This quote is so true. There is no "ideal" relationship, besides "Adam and Eve's".
I just want to say this, "I love you Nate, through thick and thin. Thank you for being supportive, teaching me to relax, teaching me to laugh at life, and teaching me about me. I love you forever."
