1 year...

1 year ago today I woke up excited and nervous.

I had a million thoughts running through my mind and was feeling a million emotions at the same time. Would everything go as I had spent 2 1/2 years planning? Would I mess up my vows? Would I trip and fall in front of everybody? Would I pass out in the heat? Would my dress fit? Would everyone notice all the small details that I agonized over? Would I even notice all the details? How would the food taste? Would Jeff smash the cake in my face or behave and not mess up my makeup like I had asked him? Would the dance floor be hopping or empty as a ghost town? Would the day fly by? Would I remember the day forever?

And then I decided to just calm down, and try and enjoy every single moment of the day.

And I'm so glad I did...

The day was magical...

It was a day I had counted down til for 2 1/2 years. And it was worth the wait. We were so lucky to be surrounded by so many people who loved and supported us. I can vividly remember every emotion I was feeling throughout the day. I know this will fade with time, but I know I will never forget how truly happy I felt standing in front of everyone with Jeff by my side.

Thank you to all who made our special day just that...special. We cannot thank you enough.

It was the best day of our lives.

To my loving husband...

Thank you for being my better half. Thank you for being patient with me, even when I am not at my finest. Thank you for understanding that sometimes all I need is a hug. Thank you for cooking dinner every night so we don't have to eat at 9:00. Thank you for helping me realize that perfection is not reality, and that imperfection can still be perfect. Thank you for making me feel safe, for making me smile, making me laugh, making me happy.

I am so lucky to have found you.

Here is to many more years of happiness... together.
