1 Year Anniversary - October 4th, 2008

October 4th- My one year anniversary and I can't even believe it. As I was preparing to type this I was brainstorming this last year and am shocked at how much Ryan and I have experienced in just the first year of marriage and even more shocked at how fast it went! It is amazing how even with all of the ups and downs, how everyday and through every experience you can continue to fall in love with the same person over and over again. I know that sounds sappy and straight out of a chick flick, but it is true and I love MY husband more and more as each day passes. Here is a quick over view of our FIRST year together...

1. Dating on and off for 5 years2. Living apart while I was in school in IDAHO/UTAH
3. The Engagement
4. Planning a Wedding = CHAOS
5. Buying our first home
6. Our Wedding Day - October 4th, 20087. Our Pup named Chevy-poo8. WHOOPS! I am pregnant - November 16th, 20089. Projects on the house/never finishing them/ TOO many projects :)
10. New Jobs - Union/American Laser
11. Going through both of us being laid off and having TOO much time on our hands
12. New Hobbies
13. Preparing for Baby Girl Emmalee Jean14. July 16th, 2009 - 5 year dating anniversary & Emmalee is here!!!15. Church callings, Ryan back in School and being first time parents!
16. New Jobs - Kadlec/Nouveau
17. Watching our Beautiful Daughter Grow18. Becoming a new little family and our 1 year anniversary =)19. 20.... And So many more memories continuing to come...

I am so grateful to supportive family and friends and examples of good relationships/marriages that our parents, and grand parents have shown us. I remember on my wedding day my Uncle Tom who married us explained it as a legacy and a heritage that we have. It is uncommon to have long lasting, successful marriages these days. In our families we have an abundance of that and because of that I know we are so blessed. I love my husband more than anything and our beautiful daughter. I feel so lucky and as though I truly have it all. I am so excited for this roller coaster of life that Ryan and I have to look forward to. =)

Congratulations to us!!! I love you Ryan <3

  4. p.s. Missy...where did you learn how to crochet the cute little beanies for emma? I want to make some for my nephews for christmas and I have a lot of free time on my hands since I'm not in school this semester. I might just have to call ya and see cuz I've looked for a good book and can't really find one.
