Meredee and I were married on January 16th of this year and it still surprises me that I’ve found someone who wants to be with me for the rest of my life. After leaving college, a DC internship, Argentina, and RMSP, I’ve become accustomed to goodbyes and returning to being alone. I remember traveling at the end of my time in Argentina and breaking down weeping, not only because things went wrong and I was more than ready to go home, but also because I was tired of experiencing life, both the good and the bad, alone. I was weary of being in pictures alone and not having a permanent companion to share my experiences with.

Meredee has gone through the same issue and is equally relieved because she does not have to fend for herself or always be strong when there are problems. She no longer has to go to movies or eat alone. Also, she gets the chance to plan and do things she’s always wanted to do, but either didn’t follow through on, or simply didn’t want to attempt as a single woman. Now we get to experience and share life together.

Companionship is a part of marriage that cannot be appreciated fully until it’s experienced. While many couples fight because they have to share their lives, it wasn’t meant to be this way. In its positive form, the company of a spouse brings out the best in us and gives great joy and fulfillment. Having my best friend as my wife is a pleasure and I thank God for putting Meredee in my life. It’s uncanny how well Meredee knows me and how our personalities and interests mesh. She is an extremely intelligent, thoughtful, and caring woman that is already proving herself to be an ideal wife.

Thanks for your friendship Mer.
