October 12, 2014 was our FIRST Wedding Anniversary!!
What a year it has been! It has flown by!!
Now it hasn't been all rainbows and butterflies, but I know we are stronger and better and have learned A LOT from this first year.
In true Liz and Lou fashion, we celebrated on Saturday by going to our favorite Mexican restaurant and then heading to a hockey game!! It was so much fun and the game was awesome!
We slept in on Sunday and went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. (That's what we did the Sunday after we got married, so we thought we would start a tradition.)
Our cake topper was at my parent's house, so my mom brought it over and we took a bite. It still smelled so sweet, and if we had let it thaw a little longer, it would have probably been pretty good, but one year old cake ain't gonna be fresh.
People say the first year of marriage is the hardest, and if you can get through the first year, you can make it through anything. It was hard. It was hard to take two very independent, strong willed, stubborn, bull headed individuals and mash them together. We did not live together before getting married, so it was truly a learning experience.
Who takes out the trash? Who does the dishes? Who cleans the toilets?
I know everyone has expectations of how they want their marriage to be, and I know I had my thoughts and ideas, but it is nothing like I thought it would be. And not in a bad way. Sure we had our days, but who doesn't?
We laugh all the time. He snores all the time. We both need our time to be by ourselves, and we have learned to respect that time and tell each other when we need it.
I bug him about certain things and I know there are things that I do that get on his everlasting nerve, but we have learned to just look past those little things and enjoy the time we have.
It's been a really good year, and I hope that every year after this first one is even better.
