That's Hilaaarious
Anniversary Party silliness - watching "Knocked Up" and referencing it all weekend long!
Good Talk
We've had a few of these and we'll have many many more in the coming months and beyond. Our first baby talks were mainly our living and financial situation. But reality set in and we decided it was easiest and smartest to just stay put in our condo for the time being and in this economy. Maybe in a year we'll be able to save up a little and the housing market will be better.
Then our talks moved to daycare and more money matters. It's going to be tight, but we'll have to make it work somehow like so many other new parents do!
Marriage Epiphany
Well, here we are! We made it through the first year of marriage. We've grown and we've learned a lot about marriage and ourselves. As we stand here at our 1-Year Anniversary, we are not free of bumps and bruises - that is for sure. There were some dark lows, that for awhile seemed impossible to recover from. There were laughs, "awww" moments, some good food - and we refused to become an "old married couple" who disappears from the social scene. (Although now with Silly Baby coming on the scene, that may become the case!!!)
In these 365 days since I donned my Oleg Cassini princess wedding gown and Tim was packaged in a handsome tux, we have truly made a full 360.
November 17, 2007 was a sigh of relief sort of day. A day we had finally made it. Our love was official and we were now husband and wife. November 17, 2008 we have just broken the news and gotten used to the idea that we will soon be parents!!!
So from newlyweds to new parents, Tim and I are leaping onto the next milestone in our life together. From fresh out of college 22-year olds who met at a wedding and just wanted to go out every weekend and sleep off the hangovers 'til 2pm the next day - to here we are...
On our now unofficial 6-year anniversary of May 31, 2009 - we will be two married adults in our 2nd year of marriage - becoming parents!
I've learned that in our lives, we can be many things to many people and many different times. We are born a son or daughter, sister or brother. We can be a student, a classmate, a coworker, a fellow member, a teammate, a friend. But the two most important people you can become to someone else is a husband or a wife, and a mother or a father.
Happy One-Year Anniversary, Tim. I love you! Here's to a lifetime more...
To all my loyal readers, this brings this blogfest to close.

oh, i'm so sad to see this blog end, although i am SUPER excited to read the new one! Congratulations, you guys, on your first year!!!
Awwwww I'm all teary!!! I love this. I think it's so interesting to experience one of the most important decades of your life (your 20s) with someone you'll be living out the rest of your days. In my mind your 20s is a time to really settle into who you are. We make plenty of mistakes and suffer through a boat load of shaky ground in these years and it sets the foundation for the people we turn out to be. To have traveled that road WITH Tim makes your relationship that much more rich and textured.
Anyway, congrats to you both once again and SO MUCH GOOD LUCK to you in the coming months! I for one cannot WAIT until Silly Baby is on the loose!!!!
