August 1st

On August 1st we celebrated our first anniversary and I am so grateful to have been married to my amazing husband for a whole year and even more grateful that we get to be married for eternity!

What I love about my husband that I may or may not have known when we got married...
-He will do anything to make me laugh, whether this is by his unique songs, ballerina dance moves
-He is a flowers and chocolate kind of guy- not for him, for me- not just for Valentine's day or Anniversary but just because and I LOVE this so much
-He will let me cuddle next to him, even if maybe he isn't in need of my 100 degrees of warmth at night
-He knows me better than I know myself sometimes and is patient with me when it takes me a while to figure out I'm being completely crazy
-His spontaneity makes life so much more fun than my plan to have every detail planned out for the rest of our lives
-He is just so perfect for me and I could never ask for a more patient, selfless, fun, and loving husband to spend the rest of eternity with!


For our anniversary this year we spent the night downtown and went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory and a movie.


I worked hard to make him a mini replica of our wedding cake (and it really did take effort for someone who doesn't do cakes) and he surprised me with a beautiful diamond necklace (which I wish I had gotten a picture of...I will) with the diamonds that originally came in my engagement ring before we switched them out. I love it so much and was completely surprised!


And when we were in Utah a few weeks earlier we took a bite of our not-packaged-very-well-completely-freezer-burned wedding cake! Good memories...


One year down and it went by so fast!! I really feel like before too long we'll have ten years behind us but I just can't wait.
