365 Days

It feels like it was yesterday that Tom and I got married.  I know that it is a cliche saying, but it is the honest truth.  It is crazy to think that we have celebrated Holidays, experienced job promotions, fixed up more on our house than most people complete in the entirety of their 30 year mortgage, and are now in the process of moving onward and upward.  Maybe the year went so fast because we have been on-the-go since December of 2007, or maybe it is because we have really enjoyed our first year of marriage and starting our official life together.  Having the type of love that we have is truly rare and I often find myself sitting back and smiling at the fact that we found it.  What a blessing!

Tom was in Chicago last weekend which was a nice treat!  I love having him around and it as much as we hate working on our house right now, it is nice to see it all come together.  He managed to get a lot more sanding done of the drywall, and it looks great!  I see finishing a basement in our future!  I was also able to finally paint the wall that was formerly the doorway to our kitchen-looks awesome!  Its hard to think that everything will come together when your entire house is in shambles, but we are proof that things eventually do turn out! 

As great as the house looks now, this phase was really not that much fun!

The fantastic new wall!  There was a doorway there?  Could have fooled me!

This weekend I am headed up to the Cities for our Anniversary.  Tom has planned out the entire evening and I am excited to see what he has in store for me.  I know that it will involve church at Gustavus Adolphus on Sunday, which I am excited about.  It may be a bit cheesy, but I think it will be so special to go back to the place where it all happened.  Thank you, all, for being a part of our fantastic first year!
