one year ago

Isn't it just amazing how fast time flies by? I can't believe that tomorrow (September 13, 2014) will be our one year anniversary. One whole year of marriage has already passed by... for some reason, that is even harder to believe than the fact that it is also our nine year "dating anniversary".

The whole thing happened so fast. The proposal, the engagement, the planning, and even the wedding itself. I honestly feel like the honeymoon felt longer than everything before it combined. It was an amazing break together, after the craziness and stress of a wedding.

I don't really feel like that much has changed since we got married, and I'm not sure if that makes me weird or normal. We dated for a very long time before hand, and even lived together for probably five years first. We bought our first house, we got a dog, we got new jobs (some of us more than others), and we dealt with life and finances together long before this wedding happened.

What I do feel, is the same feeling that I used to have when we first got together. It really doesn't feel like all this time has gone by. It doesn't feel like we are an old married couple now. We still have so much fun together, we still share secrets with just each other, we still laugh and laugh until I need to use an inhaler. Our relationship isn't perfect, but we still love one another enough to try as hard as we possibly can.

Aaron is my husband, my best friend, my favorite travel buddy, and the person I know that I (and my family) can always count on no matter what. I am so incredibly lucky to share life with this man, and I hope that I never forget it. 

Oh hey! Let us not forget that today marks one year ago that I met the absolutely amazing, Kayla! I fell in love with her too, even though I already knew how wonderful she was. Kayla, thank you for being you, and for making our special day look beautiful on film.
