One down, eternity to go

Well, it's official. We've been married a full year now.

Last Sunday, I woke up next to Ryan for the 365th time. I still can't believe that I found him and that everything worked out for us, but I'm glad it did. So, so glad.

Ryan's little sister asked us if we could BELIEVE it had already been a YEAR?! Our answer: "Umm, yeah. That seems about right."

We made pretty good use of our first official year as a family. We moved into our first apartment. Visited Las Vegas for our honeymoon. Came back and worked during the summer. Visited Nauvoo. Went back to school. Celebrated our half-iversary. Celebrated the holidays together. Celebrated everything. Made our first family stockings. Got a hand-me-down Christmas tree. Celebrated the New Year.

We turned 22 and 23. I graduated from college. We moved out of our first place. Went to Disneyland. Stopped in Vegas for a few days. Moved into our second place.

Started going to a new ward. Ryan started at a new school. I got an internship. I started commuting to work and Ryan got really good at making dinner (better than me, I think). We started getting really excited for Friday dates because we don't see each other all the time anymore.

Every day of the last year, I've learned something about Ryan that makes me love him even more. Every day, we've knelt in prayer as a family and I've been so thankful that things worked out the way they did. Every day hasn't been perfect, but every day has been part of a wonderful ride.

Can't wait for year two.

Yeah! Happy happy anniversary! (again) Thanks for letting us share it with you. Bre- I'm also so glad you found Ryan...or was it the other way around?... Because I'm so glad your part of our family now! I'm sure the second year is as wonderful as the first. You have a lot to look forward to!

You'll keep learning new things about Ryan all the time and just when you think you know everything, he'll surprise you. For example, after ten years of marriage, I found out for the first time the other day that Eric took break dancing lessons when he was a kid. Seriously. How I missed out on that little gem of information for so long is beyond me.
I'm so happy for the two of you and love you both- if for no other reason than the mere fact that you can both be happy with a rusty, hand-me-down Christmas tree. (I think I remember the words "just turn the rusty side to the wall.") Happy Anniversary!
