happy 'one year in our house' anniversary!!!

We have officially lived in our house for ONE YEAR! I can't believe it. I"ve been working on a photo montage today of before we bought it/after we fixed it up and moved in/1 year later montage. The biggest hurdle right now is my house isn't as clean as I'd like it to be to post pictures. Maybe I just need to get over that and do it! Check back for it this week sometime!!!

For the time being go HERE to see what we were up to last October during our marathon 19 day house streak!!! What a crazy time of life that was. I am sure glad we aren't doing it this year...and I'm sure glad we survived.

thank you...

...to my Mom and Dad!!!

This last Sunday my parents came over to say happy anniversary...eat some of our DELICIOUS cake...and bring us a VERY snazzy present!!!

Our first anniversary dinner at Stanford's (where we had out wedding rehearsal dinner)

our DELICIOUS wedding cake remake :)

pink champagne with fresh strawberries and cream cheese frosting.

day after our anniversary. right after we got our new camera!!!!

My anniversary earrings! I LOVE them!!!

So the THANK YOU that goes to my parents is because they got us a major anniversary present!!! They got us the camera I'd been longing for! It is a Canon Rebel EOS Xsi!!! I'm pretty sure what sealed the deal is the fact that I mentioned it about 10 or so times within a week span while we were in the midwest :) I had NO idea that is what they would get us and I am so thankful to them. This is something our family will have for a long time to come and will capture all of our life events!!!

All in all our anniversary was very nice. Oh, and Jason got a new multi-tool. He hadn't really asked for it but another wife at Sears, also looking for a gift for her husband, said her husband had one and loved it. Jason's already used it for a few things!!!

one year ago today...

i married my best friend :)
