anniversary day! josh and i have officially been married for a year now. what a crazy, fun, exciting, emotional, frustrating, and wonderful journey it's been. god has blessed me with such a thoughtful, compassionate, spontaneous, and grounded man. i couldn't be more thankful for you, josh. i love you and i'm excited about what the future holds.
mush aside, i thought i'd share some snapshots from the year. before we got married, josh and i decided to stash some of our wedding money and use it for little getaway weekends each month, or at least most months. these little adventures have been such a fun way to disengage from life and reconnect with each other. i wish we could keep doing this every month, every year, forever.
