Learning

So, the five months of training is winding down...three weeks left. So much has happened, so much has changed. I can't believe that time has gone by so fast, yet some days feel like they lasted for eternity. I still remember sitting on the couch like it was yesterday, the both of us wondering if this was the right choice. I still sit here and wonder the same thing but I also have to have some faith in the fact that so far so good...just believe a little Erin. It might not have gone exactly as planned BUT I am not so sure I would change a thing. I have learned a lot these past five months, not just with myself but about Ryan and our relationship and things that have just known deep down but they have just been reinforced.

I am not going to go into great details, this is a public blog after all. I am going to say though I have realized how important it is for two people to go through ups and downs. The highs you feel with someone special are amazing and the lows...well, not so much. But if not for all the lows you would never feel the greatest bond and the greatest amount of love that the two people in the relationship have for each other in order for you to survive it. The lows are a true test of yourselves, each other and your relationship. I am thankful for this and the bumps in the road so far.

I don't know what this next year will bring. Plans changed and that will bring more challenges...some good, some bad but hopefully all of which we will learn from. I know no matter what after these past five months we can get through anything if we stick together and our love remains strong. I know that he isn't going anyplace and will stick by me even in the lowest of lows.
