Thoughts and things learned

Well it is that time.... The time that is coming to an end in our little attic apartment, our first home as a husband and wife. Looking back on all the things we have done and accomplished, the laughs and smiles, happy times of love and joy, learning how to work together when you do things differently, making each other always feel loved. Caring for each other, doing acts of service because all you want to see is them smile when you have it done already, tears when you get frustrated or upset and then the sweet feeling of forgiveness and peace that comes when you are in each others arms saying "I'm sorry" and " I love you".
           I know that I haven't done the best job of keeping you all up to date on our adventures this almost first year of marriage... Yes less than one month and I will have been married to my best friend, my confidant, my sweetheart, my eternal companion. But I am going to do better starting today!! I promise!

I have loved this past year. Everything that I have learned and loved. I have started new hobbies and found things that I want to do and become accomplished in. I want to sew more, be more crafty, make more scrapbooks (maybe someday I will make one of our wedding), I want to take more picture of us and what we do, I want to have some sort of a garden in every place we live... Starting with our next home. I love to cook more than I ever thought and most of my experiments turn out fairly well. I have started a cookbook of my own thanks to my wonderful family who had everyone who came to my bridal showers give me a copy of their favorite recipes to add along with recipes  remembered from my childhood and now ones that I make for our dinners.

One of my favorite things that we do together is going on walks. Walking around campus and different pars of town are wonderful. It is so beautiful up here in the spring. I love the moments that we get to spend with each other, no matter what it is we are doing. I treasure each one.
