One Year

Steve & I celebrated our one year anniversary on Saturday! Looking back over the past year I've learned so much about being married, as well as myself. Although we don't have a perfect relationship by any means, we would certainly agree that we are heading in the right direction and find ourselves falling more in love everyday! All weekend we were talking about how it's crazy that is has already been a year since we got married! This past year has certainly flown by! I feel like just yesterday was June 19, 2009. We both remember so many details from the week we got married like it was yesterday, and luckily Steve (being much better at this than I am) has written a lot of those memories down over the past year. It was fun to reflect back on this past year together this weekend, and a definite plus to spend more than an hour together each day all weekend long!:)

Here's to many years and adventures to come! I'm excited to see where life takes us!

quote to live by

i've noticed this quote all over the blogging world this week so i thought i'd pass it along! a simple remind for everyone, no matter what stage in life we are at! it especially speaks to me as steve & i are going on one year of marriage now :) and making our plans for the future. it's not a matter of what i want to do, but a matter of what is best for us as a family! i wish i could find this in print somewhere so i could hang it in our house!

the best friends.

Steve & I are so blessed to have the best friends here in Provo. Steve and his close friends from Texas all came to BYU together freshman year. That fall we immediately all became best friends. Times have since changed, and although I'm the only girl still around from the freshman "JARRR/Texas" group luckily all the boys have met and married amazing girls! It has been fun over the past few years to watch most (Ben, Jake...still waiting:)...) of these boys meet girls, date them, and then be in attendance at their weddings, all since ours last June! With a few additions along the way we now have such a great group of friends that we love to spend time with!

A few months ago a few of us girls thought a "wives club" was needed, just so we could have excuses such as craft nights, nights out for dinner, and other girls nights to get together and chat. Every once in a while we bring our husbands along for frozen yogurt runs, game nights, dinner up the canyon, BBQs, etc. but no matter what it always ends up all the girls talking together, and the guys off doing something else! I have loved getting to know these girls better, and I'm already dreading the move to Washington, D.C. next spring knowing that we're going to be leaving all our best friends behind!

Memorial Day weekend Grant & Callie hosted a BBQ at their house!

We missed Holly & Justin because they were in Idaho!
