Here's to surviving our 1 year of marriage!  

A friend, who recently tied the knot, asked me how marriage was different after having gone through almost a year of it. To which I replied, "Our first year was pretty easy, but I think it's going to get much harder soon..." Yes, what this year has taught me is that marriage is no walk in the park, that's for sure -- it's a work in progress -- and it's so frustrating and so rewarding at times.

In our first year together, I've learned a lot about Matt, mostly things that make me love him more (like how he sleeps with his feet outside of the blanket, how he really is outgoing and how he has such a sweet tooth), and some things that I wish that maybe I didn't know, but regardless, I accept and love who he is as a person and as a husband. He's not perfect, but he's always willing to work on things and that makes him the best husband a girl could ask for! 

I thank God every day for putting Matt in my life -- my best friend and partner-in-crime -- he makes me laugh constantly and is so willing to go along with my shenanigans and penchant for exploring and trying new things out. He's gentle and patient, even when I'm so infuriating, and puts up with a whole lot from me. So thank you Matt for loving me even when it's hard and for a wonderful first year of marriage! And here's to growing old and wrinkly together!
