1 year down.


Today was Nick and I's 1st wedding anniversary and 5th year together in total! :) We didn't end up doing much. We're going to drive over to Champaign tomorrow and eat out at the Olive Garden (My fav!) because I really wanted to go to Hobby Lobby and they're closed on Sundays. Hah! So we just had some Steak n Shake tonight. We talked about going to Subway, but they were closed. We went to Subway the evening of our wedding day. You're jealous of how romantic we are, I just know it...Livin' the dream, baby.

I put these on Nick's desk this morning while I was up with Ryan and getting ready for church.



The traditional 1st Anniversary gift is paper, so I learned how to make these online and whipped up a dozen out of red post-it notes. 12 because that's 1 for every month, and red because that's the "I love you" color.

Spring Formal 2006
Thought I'd pop in a little comparison picture. This was us 5 years ago at our first Spring Formal! We would have been together for about 6 months here. I'm...16? Not sure what date formal was that year. And he's 19.

Promise Rings
He gave me my promise ring on my 16th Birthday. We'd only been dating about 7 months, but he was supposed to be going away to college and it was to promise me he wouldn't forget about me while he was gone. Not a marriage promise. Though it did become that. I gave him his first one on our 1st dating anniversary, but he lost it. So I bought him the one pictured for Valentines. Which we finally traded in last year for these.

Wedding Rings

It's already been quite the adventure, but I'm lovin' every second. He was the best boyfriend, and now he's the best husband! Can't believe it's already been a year! But time flies when you're having fun, am I right?

9/26/09-9/26/10. 1 year. (Except that this is posting a little after midnight. Shucks...)

Ok

1. The flowers turned out GORGEOUSLY!

2. You guys dont actually look all that different, that coming from a person who looks exactly the same as she did at 16 too.

3. The pictures of the rings were gorgeous, and I was not expecting to, but it made me cry. :') You are a great wife, and an adorable couple. Have a fun time tonight! :)
