Grateful for my husband

Its crazy to think upon this year. So much has happened and time just keeps flying by! I started this year in Japan and this year will be ending in Colorado for me. I went from being about 115 lbs. to ending this year at nearly 145lbs. I lost a job and gained some time. I've gained a husband, a son, and a lasting love that can get through anything. In the midst of it all I don't really regret anything that has happened this year. I believe that the things that have happened and the people that have been a part of my life has brought me to this point.
I am grateful for my husband. Yes, we have our ups and downs, but that is a given. I understand that no marriage is perfect and if someone expects that they will be very disappointed, but I can say that married life is a blessing! I used to deal with depression, yet it seems like ever since Daniel and I started seeing each other again my depression seemed to vanish. Over time it was like it was no longer something that was there. As a matter of fact I had to go to the Doctor around April of this year. I broke down and was crying in the Doctor's office and the Doctor tried to give me anti-depressants. To this day I still have the anti-depressants...not one of them taken! I don't need them and have tried to give them away for someone that may need them but it looks like I will probably end up just throwing them out.
At any rate this year has flown by. I can remember the beginning of it so clearly...and now here we are at the end! Soon my little boy that I have been dreaming about for so long will be here! I cannot tell you how blessed I am to not only have the love of my husband but to be carrying our son too! I love my husband so much and am so grateful for him.
