1 Year

Jared & I celebrated our first anniversary yesterday. That year went by fast because we were so busy; we were both in our final year at college and graduated, Jared traveled and interviewed for a post-grad job, we took two trips to Pennsylvania, two to Idaho, and one to Arizona. Now Jared is studying daily for the CPA exam, so it was nice this weekend to be on vacation and slow down a little.

For our anniversary I gave Jared a notebook filled with memories and lots of text conversations that we had while dating. My sister Ami didn't have texting when she was dating her husband and she is proud of her stack of love letters. So after I had known Jared about 3 months, I bought a nice journal and started recording our "love letters" in it.

Jared and I read it together last night. He was amazed at how "smooth" and romantic he could be, and I felt a renewed connection with him while we remembered our dating life.

Jared gave me a back massager that attaches to a chair. It's as much a gift to him as it is to me. It is awesome.

I love you Jared. Let the second year begin!

This was me one year ago:

And this is me now:

You don't even want to see the rest of the apartment.

At least I'm moving to California (woohoo!)
