TWO

Aaron and I have been married for TWO years today!  What a wonderful two years it has been!  We have experienced so many joys, and a few disappointments in the last two years.

We had plans to go to the Ranger game tonight, but Aaron got sick, so we stayed in.  My parents got to enjoy the game instead!  Aaron and I had Chipotle at home, and he's been off and on asleep under three blankets.  He said he would like it if we turned off the fans and air conditioner and turned on the heater.  As an anniversary gift, I turned off the fan.

The best and most fun thing we've experienced since our first anniversary is becoming an aunt and uncle.  Our sweet niece was born almost one year ago, and it has been a joy to play with her and spoil her rotten!

The most frustrating thing we've experienced is fixing our foundation.  Our foundation shifted quite a bit last summer.  It got so bad that Aaron and I were unable to turn the key in our front door.  We just sent people to the back.  Having to repair your foundation is not a fun expense at all!!

God has blessed me beyond belief in choosing Aaron for me.  I am so thankful that I get to spend my life with him.  Daily, I look forward to the life that God has in store for us.  I know that it will be filled with love and joy, and that even with any difficulties along the way, there is no one else I would want to experience life with.  I can't wait for that is in store for us in year three!

One Year

One year ago today, I married the most wonderful husband!  I don't remember very much about our wedding or reception specifically, but I remember feeling very calm all day.  I only got nervous around the time that I realized that people were being seated in the church and the ceremony was set to begin in 30 minutes.

My sweet bridesmaids came to my parents house to get ready early in the morning.  We had our hair and makeup done, which was so fun!  I felt relaxed, and so thankful for my friends who would stand by my side as I got married.  We headed to the church, where things begin to blur for me.  I remember that the air wasn't working in the bride's room, so we sat in another area.  I remember walking down a hall that was all windows as Aaron and the groomsmen walked by outside.  Some of my bridesmaids, but I don't remember which ones, told me to run, so I hiked up my dress and ran faster than I ever have before.  I remember just having so much fun at our reception.

We took an incredible honeymoon to Ocho Rios, Jamaica.  We stayed at the Royal Plantation, and I would go back in a heartbeat.  It was wonderful.

This year has gone by so quickly, and it has been filled with exciting events and constant construction in our house.  We have celebrated friends getting married, and we are about to be an aunt and uncle!  We are finally on a break from construction in our house, but it will probably only last a little while until we decide to upgrade the next thing in our house.  What a wonderful first year!

Just a few pictures from the day.  Rachel DeBell did a fantastic job of capturing every moment of our wedding!

This cake was delicious! Thanks, Radford Cakery!

Ryan is my proof that the reception was fun.  I love this picture.
