One year....

A year ago today, Sean and I left for our honeymoon!
A year ago yesterday, Sean and I made a promise to spend the rest of our lives together.
A year ago, two days ago....Sean and I were dreaming of the BIG day with much anticipation.
A year ago, three days ago, we had our rehearsal practice and dinner with family and close friends.
A year ago, four days ago....my sister and her family arrived and we welcomed them all in with a combined family cookout.

It's amazing that all the planning that took months only lasted for those few amazing days. This past year, our life has been a crazy life....but in a good way. We decided to start a family of our own, without much a due, we succeeded only after 2 months of trying. Sean interviewed for a job promotion, but the timing just wasn't right this year. Maybe next year. We survivied the bad economy; as Sean supported it with purchasing me a car much to my dismay. We went to Indians games, countless date nights-savoring them prior to our little addition. I sent Sean on an exciting valentine's day hunt (we all know he'd love for me to do that again...) We laughed over silly stuff including the time when Sean's wisdom teeth were pulled- he doesn't do well on vicodin! We put our condo on the market to move onto the next stage of our life. And we shared the joys of welcoming our son into the world.

They say the first year is the hardest, but it's been the best year of my life. I can't wait to spend the next 50 years with him, vacationing, talking, laughing, sharing, and eventually retirement sitting on a front porch in our matching rocking chairs and an iced cold glass of lemonade!
