One year!

Bryan and I celebrated our one year anniversary this past weekend.  We had a weekend in Little Rock planned, and at the last minute Bryan booked a trip to Vegas.  SURPRISE!  I'm not great with big surprises, but I recovered and we had such a fun weekend.  We ran into some of our friends in the parking lot of the airport (gotta love a small airport)...and found out they were going to Vegas as well.  So it was nice to have them to hang out with, especially during the almost 9 hours we waited on an airplane that worked.  (I really feel like I have met my quota for amount of time spent in an airport this year)  And, don't get me wrong, I'm glad we flew in one with all the equipment working properly...but sending a new plane a little earlier in the day would have been good.  Just in case you want to know, it was Allegiant airlines...not that I'm upset with them or anything.....


In a year, we have definitely both learned more about ourselves and each other.  Sharing a checking account with someone just adds a whole new element to a relationship! :)  And just when I think I am getting him figured out, he'll throw me for a loop.  But isn't that what marriage is all about, spending a lifetime figuring each other out?  


And now that we have been married a year, I am POSITIVE it won't be as easy to avoid the "when are you having kids?" question.  When you haven't even been married a year, there's not nearly as much pressure.  And my current answer is: we don't know yet.....when we feel led that it's the right time for us to add to our family, Lord willing, we will.  But, at this moment we are content with our foot loose and fancy free lifestyle.  It seems that every season in life, comes and goes so quickly, I want to enjoy this one while we can. 


We do have one pet, The Goldfish.  The Goldfish been around since my college days.  He had a sister, but she passed on.  Yes, he survived a month in my apartment on a 10 day feeder.  Yes, he survived a move across the state in a tupperware container. And yes, he's the most low maintenance/low cost pet you can possibly have!  

And speaking of pets, we have had a little stray pup running around our neighborhood....he's tiny and apparently spent the night on our porch behind my mums and pumpkins.  Sad stuff.  I am going to put a blanket out tonight and some food and see if he turns up in the morning.  We have discussed getting a dog, but we are gone SO much....we would either drive my mother nuts or have a GIANT bill at the dog boarders.  So we'll see what happens in the dog department this next year.  If one lands on our porch, I guess we'll know our answer.  We both love dogs, but Bryan is allergic...so it will have to be just the right dog for us. 

We can't wait to see what the next year brings!  I am so thankful to have such a good husband.
