One Year, Baby!!

Today is our one year anniversary!!

A year ago today, we were preparing to start our lives together.

We have grown so much as individuals and as a couple in the past year. It's been an incredible ride... full of adventures, laughs, good conversation, and a tattoo or two.

I still can't believe what a wild ride our wedding day was - and how amazing it was to be surrounded by the people who love and know us best.

I love you Matthew... and can't wait to continue spending all of our years together!

 these beautiful, true words were printed in our wedding program:

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what loveis. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love which any of us can convince ourselves we are. 

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
