Happy One Year Anniversary!

One Year ago yesterday we got married. Isn't that crazy?! It's been one whole year, I feel like it's gone by so fast. For our celebration we went to the temple and did sealings on Friday and then we went up to Portland, Maine to see the lighthouse and stopped in a beach town, Ogunquit on our way up. It was beautiful. The leaves are starting to change colors and I discovered that we both love the rocky ocean shores. For me those have always been the places that have been most reflective and I was thrilled to find out this was something we shared. We then came home, perhaps did a grocery stop on the way home, and we ordered take out Italian which was delicious, shared our wedding cake, and watched the video from our wedding. Here's a few pics...

We saw a couple who were getting married taking pictures which inspired this photo shoot...

We finally found a Wendy's! Jason's favorite place to eat. It felt like we were back in Utah/Idaho again, kind of homey in a way.

This is the famous Lighthouse in Maine, we both aspire to own a beach cottage on the rocky shores of an ocean some day.

This is the top off of our cake a year ago that my mom graciously sent to us in dried ice :) It was pretty good and better for the memories

And I guess this just sums it up. I love you Jason.

 If the first year is the hardest as they say then I'm excited to see what the next year brings. I'm not going to pretend that our one year was perfect. We had our bumps and some times I wished the first year would just end, however, the happiness and peace that marriage brings far out ways the hard times. I feel so lucky to be married to my best friend. For me, the fairy tale love wasn't when we are dating but has manifest itself into the quite moments of our married life for the past year and it's better than I had dreamed or hoped for.
