Prior to a few weeks ago, the last time Matt and I were at a graduation together was in 2008. He had received his BA from college and boy, was life different then. At that time, we were engaged and getting married in 3 months. We were living 2 1/2 hours apart and would only get to see each other on the weekends. That is, if we were lucky. Our schedules were opposite and it didn’t allow us to spend much time together. And no matter how hard we tried, texts, emails and phone calls couldn’t replace that missing piece in our daily lives…each other.
Even after we got married, our schedules remained quite different. He worked in sports, which almost always meant late nights and weekends. It was around this time that I became secretly jealous of couples that got to work together. Or at the very least, those who shared similar schedules. But life has a funny way of working itself out.
As I sat in the pew of the church a few weeks ago and cheered Matt on as he received his Master’s, I couldn’t help but smile. A big ol’ smile. Even though life can still be chaotic and our schedules still don’t always align, we always make time for us. Everyday. There is a lot in life that comes and goes, but I only have one husband. We will only be at this time in our lives once. Life is about celebrating the moments. And this May, there was a lot to celebrate.
