Hi! I don't know how many people are still here that will remember me. Well, our first wedding anniversary is coming up and so I just remembered VJ and thought I should come back to encourage you all a little!

We spent 15 months apart while waiting for all the preparations to be ready for the K-1 and then the filing time and whatnot. People on VJ told me that, once they were together, it all felt like a distant nightmare and a different lifetime... and that made me feel better, even though I wasn't sure how true it'd be for us. Well it's true for us too. :lol: We've been married for a year but we feel like we can't remember one day without each other. Yes the 15 months apart was torture... there were so many days where we felt like we just couldn't do it anymore, but yet we knew it was worth it to push through. It might take forever, or it might just feel like it's taking forever... but it'll all be over, you'll be together, and then it'll just be a nightmare in your past. So no matter how long it takes, don't giveg up - you can get through it!

We've been married for a year but we feel like we can't remember one day without each other.

Even though we clearly dont know each other, I think it is lovely of you to come back online to give your support, Personally I love that my friends and family are supportive, but they dont know what it feels like, not truly, so when someone who has been threw this processed and came out at the other side with such a great view of it all, it really is a boost!.

Congratulations, all the best for you both :)

Thanks! I can't believe we've been married a year already, it went SO FAST!

And aww Nico, I know what you mean. VJ was my main source of support during our time apart because, while others tried to understand, only the people I met on VJ totally understood. After someone posted something similar to what I just did, I kept reminding both him and I, "once we get through this it'll be like a nightmare in the past and it won't be so bad" and it helped strengthen us to push through. I have to admit, a big part of me doubted what I was saying, I figured that was the experience of some people and wouldn't be the experience that we had. It's pretty funny to be the one saying it now!

Happy Anniversary and welcome back.

See you next year about this time when you are filing LOC.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip
