First Anniversary

So our first anniversary was a few weeks ago. It has been a quick first year together, but at the same time it feels like it has been ages. We have enjoyed getting to know each other, but it has not been perfect, which we knew it wouldn't be. For our anniversary, we went out to dinner at a local restaurant and just spent some time together. Rob had been planning my gift for weeks. He would make comments to my mom about what he was doing, but I had no clue. He stuck to tradition and gave me a piece of paper, which is what one gives on their first anniversary. However, on the paper was a drawing of one of our wedding pictures. It was so thoughtful and it looks amazing. We took it to Hobby Lobby and had it framed that week. It is now hanging on a wall for everyone to see. Here is a picture of it, which has a bad glare, but it was the best I could get.I also got Rob a picture, but his was much more thoughtful than mine. I bought him a picture of this tree that he had been wanting for months. He has yet to put it up because it is a long picture and he complains that he needs a level to make it straight.
We look forward to spending eternity together and seeing what ups and downs life has to offer. It will definitely be interesting to see what happens when kids get added to the mixture, which is only a few months away.

  2. I think we have only stuck to 'tradition' twice...we got planners, obviously with paper in them!, the first year (we were students)...yours so topped ours! Happy anniversary. (ps - get some good natural light on the picture, then turn your flash off...no glare)
