A year ago, I dressed up in a pretty dress and my husband asked me if I could wear it every day since I looked so beautiful.


I was surrounded by family and friends on a beautiful day.


I had fun walking around my favorite city with my husband while we just so happened to have some wonderful photos taken of ourselves.



We ate wonderful food and danced.


And our wedding wasn’t perfect. It was far, far from perfect. But we made it through, a united front.

Our wedding was a hard day in many ways, but if it told us anything about our relationship, we knew that we were strong and that we would last.
Our wedding day was not the best day of our lives, but I would still go through it all again today if it meant that I could spend the rest of my life with my wonderful husband. In one week, we are embarking on another great adventure–we’re moving to Spain! It will be a test of many things for us as individuals and as a couple, but there’s no one that I would rather do this with than Mike.
Mike, you are truly my better half, the man who makes me a better person, a more patient person, a happier person. I love you for everything you are, and you are so, so many things!

You are:
- Enthusiastic
- Ambitious
- Supportive of everything I do
- So organized it drives me crazy sometimes
- The best travel planner in the world
- A silly, playful doggie daddy
- Creative
- Always willing to do the right thing
- Patient
- Open and honest about your feelings
- A wonderful sous chef
- A very, very good man
I am married to a wonderful person, and I can’t wait to see what is next for us. I love you Mike, happy anniversary!
