1st Anniversary

  1 year ago today I got married. I cant believe how time fly's! A year ago today, Mike was still at TBS in Quantico, Virginia learning the ropes to become a great Marine. I had to plan the day while still living in Ohio. Calling around, hoping that someone would be able to marry us on a Monday at around 8:00pm. (Mike never knew how long his work day was going to be, so it had to be that late) That's when I found Byron. What a interesting guy he was. He made our wedding day very unique. Of coarse there were other issues too. I needed to find a city that would allow me to get a marriage certificate with out Mike there to sign it. He wasn't able to take off time to do this and of course the courthouse wasn't open on weekends. There was a small town 1 1/2 away that was willing to do this with a POA. I was there! My sister and her boyfriend made the trip from Wisconsin to be a part of the quick ceremony. I'm thankful for that because other wise we wound not have these pictures.

    One of these day I do hope to renew our vows. I would love to have the long white dress with family and friends to celebrate. I'm just so thankful that I got to spend this first year with my best friend as a joined couple. There's not one day that goes by that I don't look down at my left hand and smile.

   Him not being here to celebrate together has been a little depressing. He made up for it though with a surprise knock at the door. Chocolate and flowers always makes the day better. What he put in the  card was way cute too.
