the first year

1 year ago exactly, this was happening.

I was walking up the steps of the temple with the love of my life. We were just an hour away from being sealed for time and all eternity. (Yes, my super classy fiance had brought all his stuff in a Sears bag). The next time pictures were taken of us, we would me married!

Our wedding day is still my favorite day. I got to make such beautiful promises to the man I love, surrounded by the people who meant the most to me. And that night, we had an awesome party with good food and cupcakes and dancing! I didn't stop smiling the entire day.

I've been trying to think of ways to sum up the past year or even just give a short description of it and what I learned. But every time, words fail me. I think it's because my life with Nathan is just how I want it to be and it feels as if we have always lived this way. I can't imagine a life where he is not with me. We have learned a lot this year. We have had ups and downs. We have had so many adventures. The only summary I can really give is that it's been the best year of my life and I cannot wait for an Eternity more with this guy.

I have made a slideshow for Nathan on every one of our anniversaries (excluding those 2 years he was on a mission or something). I love to watch our year in review set to music. Makes me feel all warm and toasty inside. So here's the greatest hits of our first year of marriage! Happy Anniversary Natey Patey! Love you so much!
