We made it past the first year!!! YAY!
Just like every other marriage out there we had our struggles I mean come on 8 days before getting married my dad passes away from stage 3 lung cancer, 5 months after that my best friend rolled his truck and died, that weekend we had our first miscarriage, 2 months later we have our second miscarriage and then 4 months later we had our third miscarriage. Life was not very easy that first year. But from what I hear it's always the hardest year, having to adjust to someone and all their habits you either like or don't like, getting a whole new family, living with someone that is most likely a lot different than you and does things opposite from how you like it done. Learning to compromise between what you both like to do and learning what buttons not to push. Learning how to be there for someone even if they say they are fine. All sorts of adjustments that first year brings.
I couldn't be more grateful for the wonderful family I married into, I have great in-laws and new sisters and brothers and some pretty adorable nieces and nephews if I do say so myself. I also got some amazing new cousins. Oh yeah and my husband is pretty great as well. It was super fun the first 9 months of marriage getting to live just across the street from my father and mother in-law and having cousins and siblings spread through out the neighboring towns. Each Sunday at family dinner was great, reminded me of getting together with all my family and visiting and playing games.
When I first got married I can honestly say I was really sad about giving up my last name, I use to tell my dad I was going to make my husband if I ever decided to get married that was, take my last name. I tried that with Levi and he didn't really like that idea. It's funny though cause every once in a while someone will call us the Teicherts and I can't help but tease him and say we should have taken my last name.
I just want to take a little moment and express how grateful I am to my husband for all he has done for me. Even with all the trials and struggles we have had and me being crazy emotional it stuck through it all with me and was by my side helping me as best as I would let him get through these things together. He has been very patient with me and all my emotional roller coaster rides we have been on. I'm so grateful for his loving, wonderful, accepting family that has taken me in and been so welcoming of me. I can't express enough my love for my own little family as well as for my new family I gained. I'm glad they love me for me and I wouldn't want a family that is any other way.
