It's been a year since I went on my first date with the woman who would become the love of my life: Adria Jensen. Neither of us knew it then, nor would we have guessed it, but a lot can happen in a year. The truth is that I was hesitant; I was afraid. I was afraid of getting hurt but even more than that, I was afraid of hurting Adria. I didn't want to start pursuing her, have her fall for me, and then break her heart. So I just avoided the whole thing all together for as long as I could. But there came a time when I couldn't avoid my feelings anymore. I knew I was attracted to Adria and I knew that if I pursued a relationship with her we'd get married and that it would happen fairly quickly. It took some time but we started spending time together. She made excuses to visit me in Logan and I made excuses to visit her in Centerville. But I just couldn't come to terms with what I was feeling for her. I had some emotional baggage that for some reason I just couldn't let go. Eventually, I realized that the emotional baggage that I was carrying was making me miserable, while the thought of spending time with Adria was making me happy. I didn't notice the smile she put on my face at first, but when I did I knew there was no going back. It's now been nearly two months since we got married and it's been the happiest time in my life thus far. Marrying Adria Ann Jensen was the best decision I've ever made in my entire life. If you ask her, I'm sure she'd agree ;-)
