sunday was our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! it really has been a great year. a lot of people told us that the first year is hard and there's a lot of adjusting, but that was just NOT the case for us. so far being married has been nothing but wonderful! not to mention a ton of fun--its a blast living with your best friend!! ever since i was 19 i knew that kyle was my soul mate and that he was perfect for me, but it wasn't until this past year of being married that i realized just how perfect for me he is! i can honestly say that after a year of marriage we have never had a fight or even a real argument. we're both just too chill and easy-going for that, and in general we usually feel that same way about things. that's not to say we agree on everything--we have very different opinions about dogs, pickles, what to name our future children, and violence on tv to name a few, but nothing worth fighting over.
oh gosh i just love this boy, i could really go on forever about him and how great he is. he is so sweet to me, especially when i'm sick--he always takes such good care of me:) he helped me get through my most stressful year of school and BOARDS, and some pretty nasty sickness episodes this past year.
we have so much fun together playing tennis, golfing, mini-golfing, playing basketball, swimming, riding bikes, snowboarding, hiking, kicking the soccer ball around, playing the wii, puzzles, board games, playing volleyball, playing any game/sport really, cooking/eating yummy food, roadtrips, hanging out with friends, visiting family, reading good books, just cuddling & talking, and sharing our lives together.
so to celebrate our first year, we finally went back to salt lake! we went to the salt lake temple (where we were married) and did a live session. it was the first time for both us, and it was a really interesting experience. then we walked around the temple grounds for a while, checked out all the brides & grooms that had just gotten married and were taking pictures (that was us one year ago!) and took some pictures ourselves. then we had dinner reservations at 7pm for the roof resturaunt at the JS memorial building. it was a gourmet buffet and it did not disappoint! i enjoyed a warm lion house roll w/ honey butter followed by salad, salmon, potato salad, fruit, fruit salad, cheeses, then delicious french onion soup, and then some chicken cordon bleu, ham, and one of my favorites of the night: marinated flank steak mmm...but that was all before dessert. after all that i had some fruit brioche, cheesecake, carrot cake, CHOCOLATE CREME BRULEE, chocolate mousse, strawberry mousse, caramel flan, white mousse cake, and regular creme brulee...can you say heaven??!! of course i had fairly small portions of each of these, but i think its no surprise that i was
not hungry again until about 3pm the next day!!
i guess i should mention that we did all this celebrating on saturday, on sunday (our actual anniversary) kyle went to meetings in the morning, then we both went to church, then i did my visiting teaching, then we had a romantic dinner of chilli dogs, then we talked to our families on the phone...it was pretty much a typical sunday. but a little later in the evening we pulled up itunes and put on the song that we danced to at our reception "lucky" and danced around the bedroom, then we celebrated in a more intimate way...
later, we talked about this past year, some of our favorite moments and what we're hoping for our second year of marriage. overall it was a great anniversary to celebrate a great year of marriage. and i can't wait to celebrate our anniversary together every year, over and over again for the rest of eternity! i love you kyle!!
and the party will continue later this week as we head to california...!!

Aw, what a wonderful celebration! :) I'm glad y'all had a good time...and Happy Anniversary! Just so you know, I was thinking about you yesterday cause I remembered! :)
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way about my first year of marriage. I thought that it was the best thing ever. But just wait for the second year! It is going to blow the first year out of the water! Seriously, the second year was so much better that it made the first year look like it was hard. You have so much fun in your future!! Congrats!
