One Year

(A few days early since we're jetting off to Chicago! And yes, I took the pumpkin picture above especially for an anniversary blog post!)

As I was digging the top of our wedding cake out of the freezer this morning, I was filled with disbelief that this day is finally here. I can't believe we have been married for a year already! The year has gone by so quickly. There have been many ups and downs (but the ups far outweigh the downs) and many, many changes. We both have new jobs now, a new apartment, a few extra pounds around our middles and more than a few amazing memories. I had no idea what married life had in store for me; however, it has been the greatest time of discovery in my entire life. To have someone there every day to prop me up when I'm feeling down, to love me unconditionally, to be my biggest cheerleader and to be my most constructive critic (in a good way!).

Brad - I love you more now than on that beautiful fall day when we said "I do" - something I didn't think was possible! I am so excited to be spending a great weekend with you in Chicago to celebrate! Happy Anniversary P :)
