A year ago....

I married my best friend! Currently, that said best friend is in NYC and I miss him terribly. (Charlotte and I both cannot sleep very well when he's not around). This morning, when I got out of the shower and grabbed my towel a red envelope fell from my towel. So sweet :)

Here are some things I've learned about marriage our first year, I guess you could say they are true Newlywedisms:

1. 2x the income is great! However, it takes time to get on the same page financially (we are finally there and it feels great).
2. Marriage can be both the easiest and hardest thing to ever go through. I'll hold nothing back - sometimes I can't stand him!!
3. The best conversations happen after the tv goes off and before we fall asleep. I really cherish those moments.
4. No matter how bitchy I can get, he still puts up with me. I don't know how he does it!
5. I'm not sure if he always thinks what I say is interesting, but he always makes me feel that way :)
6. Why don't people have a name for the weight you gain post wedding, like the freshman 15?
7. Just because we are married, it doesn't mean want kids anytime soon. So stop asking me when we will start to procreate! Ask me again in 5 years. This is especially directed to strangers and co-workers.
8. I know someday, a long time from now, we'll look back and laugh about how incredibly poor we were, but it being some of the best times in our lives. I try to think about that when I get jealous of fancy cars and nice vacations.
9. I'd much rather lay at home on the couch with my husband than go out any day.
10. And last but not least, this year went by SOOO fast! I know in a blink of an eye it will be our 5 year, then our 10 year, then our 25 year....

And finally, our Pro Pictures by the talented photographer Michael Norwood:

  1. I am in love with Charlotte! What kind of dog is she?

    P.S. Th ephotos are great. I still haven't put mine up because my husband has a stalker ex-girlfriend and I don't want to divulge such an intimate day.

    Your figure looked fantastic in your dress and the cake looked sinful. Gorgeous!
