Second Anniversary

May 30, 2009 was a beautiful day.  Sunny - without a cloud in the sky.  Empowering - recognizing that Jordan and I were leaving our families and becoming one.  Energizing - realizing that I would be joined at the hip to my Honey Bunches for time and all eternity.  And now it's happened - Jordan and I have been married for two whole years.  We can't believe how fast the time has flown by.  It seems like we are still beginning and experiencing so many new things together.  And I know that we will feel that for many, many years to come.

I think back to when I was a teenager.  You hear your grandparents tell you, "You don't know what love is.  Not yet anyway."  So true!  I couldn't imagine loving someone enough that the thought of them brings tears of gratitude to your eyes.  That one person could mean the entire world to you, that you would do anything - ANYTHING - to stay with them forever.  I couldn't imagine it, but I know what it is like now.  And even now, it's hard to imagine our love growing stronger and stronger, because it already feels like my heart could burst.

We didn't do much for our anniversary, but we did go to an amazing Brazilian restaurant in Richmond called Texas de Brazil (which has nothing to do with Texas, by the way).  So, so, so delicious.  Flank steak literally melting in your mouth.  Probably the best meat I've ever eaten!  We saw a movie and gave each other gifts.  I love you Jordan!

Happy First Anniversary!

On May 30, Jordan and I had our first anniversary! One year - we made it! Since it was a Sunday, we didn't have anything else to do besides spend time together and celebrate. We went to Sacrament Meeting at church and then came home. First we had lunch outside and played some card games, one of our favorite things to do.

My adorable mom saved our wedding cake! I thought it had been thrown out, but to my surprise, it survived. She is so cute. She wrapped it very well and then wrote on the tin-foil "eat on 5/30/10. Happy Anniversary! :)" I loved it! I set the cake out to thaw after a year in the freezer.

We played some more games and then I made dinner: spaghetti and home-made sauce and veggies. I even got out the special glasses haha. Oh and Jordan picked me some lilacs, one of my favorite flowers. He is so sweet.

Ok, so the traditional one-year anniversary gift is paper (what the heck?) and the modern gift is a clock of some sort. So Jordan got me...money (paper). Clever, eh?

And a watch (clock) for work! YAY! I don't have any working watches and this was going to be very useful as a nurse.

Ok, so I'm sappy and got Jordan a photo album (paper) so I could document our first year in photos.

And I got him a dress watch (clock), because he only has sports watches. Just need to get it resized, the watch is so big!

Time for the cake :D Yummy! Oh it was so delicious. I couldn't believe how good it was after a YEAR in the freezer!

So happy! What a great day, just spending time together. We love each other :)
