Year One.

It has been a while since my last post, but I thought I would poke my head in and check on things. Not much has been happening recently. Since I began working full-time, I've had a severe case of computer-itis. Computer-itis, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, is basically aversion to using your computer at the end of the work day. I've been spending a lot of time on our computer at work, therefore the absolute last thing I feel like doing when I get home is dragging out my laptop, despite its portability. I mean I could use it while lounging on the couch, but I just have very little motivation. When I get home, I usually reach for a nice glass of wine, cozy up to my husband, and then we get to talking about our days at work. Oh, we also tend to scrounge up whatever we can for dinner, especially since I have not been in the cooking mood as of late.

However, tonight I had some bills to pay. Sad, but true. So, I thought I would see if I could suppress my computer-itis and update you all on life. Well, the most recent happenings. About a month ago, Husband and I celebrated our one-year anniversary of marriage. I still can't believe that we've been married for a WHOLE year. It just boggles my mind. I've heard from many friends and family members that this is a good thing. It feels like a good thing. We've had some minor ups and downs over the course of our first year of marriage, but we have come through stronger and wiser. I love him just as much as the day we got married and am looking forward to our many years ahead.

We celebrated our anniversary by taking a trip to Asheville, a place we have been many times and fell in love with long ago. It was also our honeymoon spot. We stayed for a little less than a week and as usual, our stay was wonderful. We had lots of good food, did some shopping, and enjoyed some of the local micro-breweries. That last one was mostly for the Husband though. He loves his beer. I love my cheese. Enough said.

In our second year, we plan to tackle some more house remodeling projects. This will be a test of our strength as a couple, I'm sure. We are going to remodel our two main floor bathrooms, merging them in order to create one really nice bathroom. There is just no purpose in having two tiny bathrooms - and I do mean TINY. Beyond that we might update our kitchen some and add some more storage in for clothing and other random objects that seem to float around our house. Oh and paint. Good lord, we are finally going to paint. Hallelujah.

Shield your eyes and ears, because here comes the mush.

I wish I could express just how wonderful my husband is, but words just cannot describe how I feel. All I can say is that I am truly grateful for all that we have shared together and delight in the fact that we will share so much more. He chose me to be his wife and I chose him as my husband. There is no question that saying yes to him was the right decision. There could not be a better choice. It is the single greatest choice we have made so far. Being his wife is a blessing and something that I will always strive to appreciate. I never want to take him for granted. I hope to be worthy of him and his love for the rest of my days, whether they be long or short. I will always love him.
