One year ago, our lives were propelled by our love for one another. Our biggest priority was being the best we could be for one another, now as husband and wife. Today, our lives continue to be propelled by love, but the love is much greater and much broader. Our biggest priority is being the best we can be together, as spouses and parents. Our love for each other and Vaan grows each day. I had no idea one year ago that love this great was possible. Erica said in her toast "I hope you look back on today as the day you loved each other the least". I didn't know if it was possible to love more than I did that day, my heart was so filled with love and happiness. I now know that with each passing day, love grows, relationships get stronger, and family is where the heart explodes. It has been an amazing year filled with beautiful blessings. What a great start; I can not wait to see what the years ahead have to bring.
Justin, let me take a moment to thank you for loving me the most when I deserve it the least. You are my hero, my best friend, and my one true love. I will appreciate you, honor you, and respect you all the days of my life. You and no other.
I love you Justin, Happy Anniversary!!
**On a lighter note, this is an anniversary we will never forget. I have been back to work for one week. I have reduced my hours to 11 per week and am working Monday and Friday afternoons. On Mondays I work from 1-7pm and today Justin is off. Perfect scenario, until Justin is called at 10:30am and is told he has to work from 3-7pm. Grandma Karen to the rescue!! Grandma is asked to leave work early to help us out, and like the awesome grandma she is, of course she is willing! I got home a little after 7pm to no water, emergency shut off. No problem, except I'm dying of thirst, really need to go to the bathroom, and would like to give Vaan a warm bath to soothe him and get him to bed so Justin and I can have a little time together before I crash. It is now 9pm, I am just getting Vaan down and Justin is still not home. I guess I should have mentioned above, getting ordered from 3-7pm never means actually getting done at 7pm. Justin got home at 9:30 and now we need to decide what to eat. Justin asks, "So, do you want Taco Bell?" Umm, no I don't want Taco Bell on my anniversary! Haha, so I settled for Papa John's pizza, not great - but better than taco hell. Our pizza arrives at 10:15, we eat, Justin thinks the world is going to end after a disastrous call at the end of the Packer game causing the Packers to lose (in case you didn't know - I am a Bear fan, so this part I will most likely forget in years to come), and we go to bed. Was it how I pictured my first anniversary? No, but it was still great. We were together as a family and I wouldn't have it any other way and I can say, we will never forget this one! Cheers to one year :)
