Another Year later
On our one year anniversary,I thought blissfully of our honeymoon suite at the Four Seasons on Maui, a gift from my parents, which was filled with fresh flowers, fruit baskets, chocolate, and spirits. We blissfully soaked in a massive tub filled with bubbles while sipping tall glasses of bubbly pink champagne. I caressed Ethan’s face, and he nipped on my ears while telling me how much he loved me. I felt like a fairy princess, then, and I still do today.
The rest of the week on Maui was filled with magical fantasies.
From making love that first night as husband and wife to swimming and snorkeling with green sea turtles to the Hawaiian Luau in Lahaina we attended, it was all a dream come true. We took a tour up to the summit of Haleakala in the early morning to watch the sun rise in the east, followed by a thrilling downhill bike ride that took us past lush green fields and forests of flowering trees. We ended at the seashore after a marathon distance of downhill coasting, symbolic it seemed of my relationship with Ethan.
All the beauty reminded me of how much I wanted to devote my career to helping save the environment, working to make the planet cleaner and to preserve endangered animals.
Ethan had helped me study, and I passed the bar on my second attempt. I am now working at his friend’s environmental law nonprofit, and we’re seeing great things happen through our efforts to leave our children a better world.
Speaking of children, Caden is going to get his wish. A baby brother—or sister—is on the way. We confirmed my pregnancy only a week ago, and we’ll soon have a small party for our friends and family to announce the growth of our home.
In the islands, they have a word that means everything good, “Aloha.”
That’s how I feel about my life.
