a year later

a lot can happen in a year.
me: i ask a girl out. i fall in love with said girl. i graduate. i go to europe to meet said girl and propose marriage to her. i move to seattle. i start dream job. i start another dream job on top of said dream job. still in love with said girl, i marry her today.
this year has been rather full of experiences i will not soon forget.
for all those that were included in said experiences, thank you.

on same note but different tone, i address the stages of ones life.
as i have prepared for each stage, i decide that i am never ready to move on but nevertheless forced to by some inexplicable force. how is it that this happens? i will discuss it with dave over lunch today.
how is it that we can keep the same people around us if we are all moving through our own stages is also a question on my mind. do we evolve for each other? or is it for ourself? if for each other is seems logical that we would keep those same people around us at all times. but we all know that doesnt happen. sure there are a maybe a few staples if you are lucky but for the most part people come and go from ones lives. i find myself in favor of moving on and understanding my experiences with said people and evolving individually.
however, i am faced with a new experience. a relationship i can not move away from. i will be eternally bound to a woman that i love today. i find no ill consequence to this choice of mine, only foreign concepts that beg to be incorporated into my being. us. we. you and me. our. are not new words, but new concepts in application.
although unknown how the future will come to pass, i find myself reveling in the moment. that i might set me aside and accept the us is rather thrilling.
i am up for the challenge.
especially with this one.
us, we, you and me, forever.
