The Walkers: Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to my husband!

Today we celebrate our first anniversary. It is a perfect day. Nothing could go wrong. At least not for me. (Except for the fact we both had to go to work and that I just got a message from Nick saying his bus that was bringing him to me is broken down. Awesome.)

I can honestly say that this has been the best year of my life. Being married to the man of my dreams makes it just that. Perfect. While we do have our disagreements, we love each other, and that means more to us than anything.

To celebrate, we went on a little trip last week down to Capitol Reef National Park. (pictures to come when i'm not at work) It was so much fun. Just getting away and out of the daily swing of things was nice. We stayed in a hotel for three nights and got a good day of hiking in. It's really pretty there and we had good weather for at least one day-the hiking day. The others days were nice to stay inside and relax. I never realized that parts of Utah were so beautiful. All the red rock down south is so cool. I'd never seen it before this trip. All in all, it was wonderful.

Tonight we will celebrate by staying at the Little America and going to a nice Italian restaurant Nick has chosen to take me to. We will enjoy time just to ourselves and reminisce about how we met and all the crazy things that have taken place between then and now. And how much our lives together have changed.

When I first found out that I was pregnant, I was excited, shocked, and a tad bit disappointed. Not because I don't want children, because I really, really do. Lots of them! But because I didn't know if I was ready to give up spending time with just Nick. I was worried that it might change our relationship. I've been thinking a lot about that since then, and have come to a realization that this can only make our relationship better and stronger. I look forward to soon sharing all the joys of parenthood with the only man I love.

So, with that, Happy Anniversary to us, and congratulations to us for making it through the first year of many together! I love you, Nick!
