2017

This is the year Jonathan and I have been looking forward to for a very long time.
This is the year Jonathan graduates.
A few months ago, I saw this encouraging poster.

It's been a good reminder for me. I have the tendency to see that we still aren't quite there yet and this helps me see that each little step is benefiting us. I feel like this is the year that all of our persistence pays off. Jonathan will be graduating this May and starting his career in a field he absolutely loves. I am grateful to be married to a man that is persistent in everything he sets his mind to. Including in pursuing me more than seven years ago.
