Happy Anniversary!



On Sunday, the 21st of September, marked our one year anniversary. Friday, I pampered ourselves to a couples foot message, and he surprised me with a night away at the Westin near Boulder, CO. Our evening included an excellent, beautiful dinner and then a short walk over to the improv theater- MadCap, where we laughed till our sides hurt. My husband even volunteered to make the sound effects for one of the actors:).


Sunday, we took a nice walk in the morning, with Starbucks as our destination, and then left the Hotel to enjoy an afternoon in downtown Denver. Upon returning home, we finished our celebration by eating our wedding cake topper.




Here is the best part, the bakery, where we ordered the cake, makes you a fresh cake to enjoy on your anniversary. The candle symbolize "we are truly one now" per my husband.



So those are the details, but my favorite part was having time with my husband. With both of us working full time jobs, and my husband starting his MBA, we are just busy. And getting away just for the night, with no agenda except to enjoy each other's company, was the best gift that could have ever been given.

To My Dear Husband,

This past year has brought me more laughter, tears, realizations, and yes, even some refiners fire than I ever expected. But I would say "yes" to you all over again if you were to ask me to marry you again tomorrow.

Thank you for demonstrating to me the tangible love of Christ- as I have been so humbled to receive love from you when I did not deserve it. Thank you for providing for us not only in a tangible way, but also spiritually, protecting our home with your prayers and accountability.

I love you and look forward to the rest of our journey together, as the Lord wills for our lives.

With all my heart- Your bride.
