Happy Anniversary to us.
I can say with certainty that neither of us pictured spending our first anniversary as sleep deprived parents of a newborn. As if anyone would picture that for their one year... Our plan would definitely have looked more like celebrating on a beach somewhere just the two of us. Obviously God had other plans (enter Huck)...
But as I was lamenting this, Devin reminded me that everything has been easy for us - since we met, really. Dating started and progressed easily and naturally (and quickly!). Engagement was fun. And our first year of marriage, with the exception of the last 2 weeks, followed the same trend, fun and easy. I suppose it was time for us to have to deal with something substantial.
I love that from the second we started dating, not once have I questioned or doubted whether we should be together. Year one of marriage truly exceeded my expectations in every way possible.
Just the other day I was talking with one of Devin's friends and informed him I had a bit of a dark side before I married Dev. And that got me thinking about all the ways Devin has positively impacted my life. God knew exactly what I needed in a husband and provided Dev at the perfect time. He is so good for me!
So - here's to a what was a wonderful first year of marriage and to taking a fun second anniversary trip sans Henrik Sebastian. :)

| Anniversary brunch that the Pops slept through, which was nice, but I'd rather he sleep at night... |

heeehee...there is no satisfaction when they sleep during the day. When Noah was sleeping, I would wonder if I should wake him up so he would sleep at night and when he was awake I would wish he would just sleep:D
Happy Anniversary. :) You guys have gotten a lot done in a year. ;) And when/if you fly away for your two year, you will not believe how much more relaxing it is if you are used to caring for a little one 24/7. It's kind of it's own little ironic twist. :)

Happy anniversary!
I really think kids help husbands and wives love each other so much more completely...though maybe it doesn't seem like it in the sleep-deprived moments.:)
Happy Anniversary! What a year you've had:). Can't wait to meet the little guy.
Happy Anniversary - it's been so fun "following along" this last year.
You have been in my prayers!

Happy Anniversary Em and Devin! What a crazy year it's been. It's been a fun adventure to hear about!
:) Glad Huck slept through the date although I'm sure night time is preferred! ;)
