a year

Well kiddos...

Its finally been one year. I meant to post yesterday but with all the anniversary fun I haven't gotten around to it.

Its amazing I have been married to this guy for a whole whopping year. Its been one fun ride to say the least!!

I have enjoyed this journey this past year and hope to enjoy a million more. I have learned so much about trying to be a good wife to my Shan. I love love love being a wife.

This year we have had huge highs and some lowish lows (thanks to budget cuts and losing jobbies) but if anything else, we have gotten even more closer and in love. Its been one fabulous year.

We watched our wedding video last night. Needless to say I bawled watching it, lol. It was such a wonderful and beautiful time in our lives. I loved everything about our beautiful day, but the journey this year as husband and wife has proven to be even more wonderful and amazing.

The Potter wife reflects

SOOOO...I am apologizing already....

I am feeling overly sentimental because in 3ish days, its our one year anniversary of being a Potter's wife!! So, my blogs might be wedding/anniversary related, so I hope you can deal =)

I am laughing at myself as I write this...I have my hair wrapped in those hair towels, got my jammies on, bachelor pad is playing the background and hubbies went to bed.

Last year at this exact time, I was with some of my favorite girls, getting ready to have night out on the town for my bachelorette...my how time changes things! =)

Last year on this day was our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. We did it two days before the wedding, so we could have all day Friday to do our stuff. HIGHLY reccommended as I felt so less crazy (well, kinda) the night before =)

I remember this day last year, I worked a half day. I hugged my then firsties good bye and headed to the church to drop off some stuff. I later went to walmart for I can't even remember and genius me locked my keys in my trunk. I pretty much had a meltdown. Thank god for my dear pals, Jessica and Jared, who immediately came to my rescue, got an extra set from mom and saved the day.

We decorated the church which went well, and our rehearsal began. I remember that excitement that my big day was just days away. We rehearsed a good number of times and then had a good ol' fun pizza, soda and beer rehearsal dinner. Nothing fancy, just laid back and fun, just how we like it!

I remember that whole part week/weekend of our wedding feeling so very loved. So many friends came from near and far to celebrate us, and it was such an amazing time.

I must admit, I am AMAZED how fast this time has gone.
