The Anniversary of Our Engagement

Wait....didn't we just celebrate the one year anniversary of our first date?  Yep.  We had a whirlwind romance.  =)  We met, dated, got engaged, and got married all within a year.  You can read all about it if you click on the [All About Our Love Tab] up at the top.  Or you can just click here.  Whatever's easiest for you.  :)  

Like I was saying, today is the one year anniversary of our engagement!  =)  If you click on those links I just gave you, you can read the entire story.  This post will be simple.

baby, thanks for the craziest year of my life.  thank you for loving me so much.  we look so happy and silly and young in these pictures.  hard to believe it was only a year ago.  so much has changed.  wedding planning is behind us.  thank God for that.  =)  i miss being a bride sometimes, but i wouldn't trade a day of being your wife for a day of being your fiance, no matter what.  :)  you're the best husband and i love you so much.  thank you for my beautiful ring 1 year ago today.  thank you for our life that we built around the symbol you have me a year ago.  thank you for knowing that i'd want my parents to be there.  thank you for knowing that i would want to have pictures of our proposal.  thank you for choosing the perfect place to propose.  thank you for reminding me to dress cute.  wait, you didn't do that.  thank you for reminding me to wash my hair and make it pretty.  wait, you didn't do that either.  thank you for reminding me to put on makeup.  whoops...nope.  that didn't happen.  ;)  well..thank you for everything else.  most of all, thank you for keeping your promises.  I love you to pieces, man-o.  

   

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  

-----If you don't like Valentine's Day or if you don't appreciate what it stands for as a holiday (yes, it is a holiday), then happy un-valentine's day to you.  And I say that it is a holiday because it's on the calendar.  If we have to recognize Arbor Day and Christopher Columbus Day as holidays, then yes, Valentine's Day is a holiday, too!  What's that?  You say that trees give us oxygen and C.C. have us America?  And therefore they deserve to be celebrated?  Good point.  Allow me to pose a question.  What would your life be like with love?  Hmmm?  What if you had no friends, no family, no partner, no pets, no hobbies, no nothing in your life that evoked any emotion?  It would suck.  So shut up, be thankful for love in ANY and EVERY form, and smile at the things or people or pets that you have mad love for, k?  Moving on.-----
I love my husband more than anyone in the whole wide world.  Well, maybe not more than Zombie.  No...that's wrong.  Mr. Robinson totally wins.  Zombie comes in second place.  For sure.  Yeah.  So, like I was saying...  I love my husband more than I love anybody else in my life.  Also, everyone else I love is far, far away right now (except Zombie.  He's snuggling my tushy).  And tonight, we dance! 
Maybe.
Actually...I have no clue what we are doing tonight!  My husband is really great at planning sweet, elaborate things for holidays.  So far (and we've only been together a year, remember? haha), he hasn't been the type to surprise me with some big, sweet gesture for no reason.  He doesn't give me gifts "just because," and he doesn't send me flowers because it's Sunday.  I'm not complaining.  He loves me every day.  He takes care of me.  He provides for me.  I am not without anything I need.  He is the spiritual leader of our home.  He's a man and I adore him.  Once again, I wasn't complaining when I said he doesn't do out-of-the-blue things.  He is, however, exceptional at making a special moment even more special.  
He's great with birthday's.He's great at Christmas.He was great with our wedding. He was REALLY great at planning our surprise-to-me honeymoon! 
He's got special occasions down pat.  Which is why I am SO excited about tonight!  He's kept it all a secret and he's been planning for a while.  I know it'll be great because I know my husband.  He wouldn't be this excited over a mediocre plan.  I know it'll be perfect for us.  :)  I'm thrilled!  He keeps telling me it's going to "blow my mind."  He says it's "legend....wait for it.....dary!"  
I'll tell you all of the PG details tomorrow.  Ok, ok.  You know they'll probably be PG-13.  Whatever.  See y'all kids tomorrow!  :)  We've got a Valentine's Day AND our one year anniversary to celebrate!
