ONE YEAR

June 27th, 2009

It's hard to believe that a little over a year ago Taylor and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. What a wonderfully magical day that was! I couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect day. I am so lucky to be married to my best friend. We often reflect on the past year and all that has happened, and we are constantly amazed at the blessings we have in our life. Every day I am so thankful for a husband who constantly tells me and shows me how much he loves me. I can't wait for the next year and the adventures that lie ahead. Even more than that, I am so excited for the eternity to come and all the fun that is to be had! Here's to ONE YEAR!!! 

A few favorite memories from the past year: 

1. Driving over 3,000 miles last summer (2,000 on our honeymoon alone!)
