Polkadot + Moonbeam celebrate their wedding anniversary!

Yes, it was our 4th year of marriage together last week. And truly now that we have come just that little bit, we learn that everyday continues to be a day of learning. Someone once said that falling in love is an accident, but staying in love is hard work. And that is true. If we believed in the former, what would happen if we meet another ‘accident’? If we were entirely honest, we know LOVE is more than a feeling. It is a commitment, a covenant to each other. 

It seems easy for the 2 pocket-sized people that we are, you’d think that meant ‘smaller’ problems too…eh? But we are such polar opposites. Love means SACRIFICE. Our sacrifices were not even only our own. That took our families’ and friends’ blessings all along the way. We met each other in 2010 but only committed to marriage because we knew this deep inside. That for us to be together, we need more than 1 miracle, we need an overhaul (and many miracles to follow!). 

And so when we now see another couple holding unto their relationship juggling stuff, so much stuff, and if they even have kids to add, my, that is a LOT of LOVE. 

We had a dessert of tiramisu and brownie in the day because Moonbeam thinks a date is never a date unless it came with sweets. (He isn’t even a sweets-lover). And then we walked home. I made him his cheesecake crumpet, recipe to be shared someday perhaps. I made spag bol which he thinks is the greatest … makes me feel like a queen. We had apple cider in our plastic cups since we don’t drink much, and apple pie to match. I don’t know, but i looked at him ambling down yesterday fussing over something about the supplier of some brochure distribution as we spotted a pile of pamphlets near our place as we walked out, and i just breathed in, gratitude. If everything in our past was too difficult then, it is worth every bit of gratitude to treasure today. I am blessed. We are. Truly.

Thank you for walking with us, blessing our love when it may sometimes seem impossible.
