Happy one year anniversary to us!!

Before I post about our trip to California, I want to take a minute to reflect and celebrate Eric and I's first year of marriage. Our anniversary was on June 19th. This year has been absolutely great. I couldn't have asked for a better first year of marriage! We have enjoyed working on our house and yard, playing with Ollie, traveling to some fun places, welcoming a new niece into the family, and experimenting in the kitchen, just to name a few.  We have gotten to know each other better and learned to live with each other as a married couple.  We lived together before we were married, but there is something very special about knowing we are officially married and it makes living together all that much better. Eric understands me like no one else ever has and I am very fortunate to call him my husband.

June 19, 2010 was the best day ever. We had planned for this day for over a year and when the day came, I could hardly believe it was here. I want to thank our families and friends for helping make this special day so memorable. As most people know, I will use any excuse to look at my wedding pictures. I absolutely love them! Why would I not want to look at pictures of the happiest day of my life?  I just want to share a few (I will try to limit myself!) of my favorites from the day. Ok, I know I went picture over board, oh well! All pictures taken by the fabulous Margaret Wolf of Moving Images Productions.

It was a perfect day and I wish we could do it all over again every year! I love you Eric and look forward to many more years of marriage with you!
