One Year Ago

One year ago on this date, I became Mrs. Lewis J. Thompson, Jr. It seems like only yesterday that I was planning my wedding and now it has come and gone. The past year has been a year of significant change, most notably, the birth of my daughter Taylor. She is by far the most precious gift that God has ever given to me.

Lewis and I did not do anything exciting today. We went to church this morning, came home and took a nap. Lewis had to work this afternoon. I really don’t know what one should do on a 1st anniversary. It is significant as many individuals do not make it this far. Our year has been a year of adjustments, change, and growth. I’m just glad that he no longer wears outside shoes in the house. Lewis asked what I wanted for my anniversary—I replied “Whatever!” Honestly, I just want more years of growth, development, love, peace and joy. I want to grow old together, watch the children grow up, and enjoy evening walks and sunsets. Simplicity and happiness--that’s all I really want.
