Happy One Year Anniversary To Us!

Today, Jon and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary.  It was a very special day.  We looked back at what we were doing around this time last year.  It was fun to remember how we were feeling and what we were doing.

The past year has been wonderful.  We have had so many great times and  made so many wonderful memories!

We are in New Orleans.  This is where we started our honeymoon around this time last year.  We have had a great day celebrating and remembering.

Happy Anniversary, Jon!  I love you so very much!  Looking forward to the many years to come!

Some Thoughts on our First Anniversary

It seems unbelievable, but our first anniversary is here! We have so many things for which to be thankful. This year has brought us many incredible memories. One of the greatest of these is that of our wedding. Vita and I reminisced about it earlier this afternoon. I can still remember our special day in vivid detail and hope that this clarity doesn't fade with time.

Our wedding day (and honeymoon) was a momentous occasion, but the following months were just as special. I couldn't have hoped for a better year. I pray that the rest of my days are filled with so many blessings.

Most importantly, our first year was marked by the special covenant between God, Vita, and me. We must never forget that our marriage is a living sacrament, an outward of sign of the invisible reality of God's love. I eagerly anticipate the adventures of our second year of marriage and have faith that God is directing our lives. This brings us great comfort and peace.

Vita, I love you and my love for you grows each day. Happy First Anniversary!

Our One Year Anniversary Is Around the Corner...

May 30, 2010 is almost here!  Jon and I are going to New Orleans to celebrate.  I made our reservations last month.  I look forward to taking it easy for a few days.

 

We spent two nights in New Orleans as part of our honeymoon, before we flew out to San Diego.  It is a special place for us. 

 

Ideally, we would go somewhere else, but I can't because of my job.  I am not allowed to take any vacation from May 20 until July 31.  That's the way it goes!  So, New Orleans it will be!

Hattiesburg Trip

On April 8th and 9th, Jon and I visited Hattiesburg.  It was nice to take a quick trip just to get away.  I had a great aunt that lived there.  I had not returned, since her death many years ago.

Jon had gone to a conference previously, and told me about a barbecue place that he wanted me to try.  We figured this was be a good time to go.

Hattiesburg does not have a lot going on there, but we had a great time.  I was amazed at all the things that I remembered about it.

We also visited the Hattiesburg Zoo.  It was a very nice little zoo.

Other than Leatha's Barbecue, we at Red Lobster and Zaxby's.  I love Zaxby's!

It was nice to get out of Baton Rouge for a while.  It was a nice trip!  

Happy Birthday, Jon!

Today we celebrated Jon's 28th birthday!  His first birthday as a married man!  Even though I had to work, we had a nice day.  We had lunch at The Pastime.  When I got off from work, Jon opened his birthday gifts.  Then we had a nice dinner at Coyote Blues.

I made Jon a cake on Saturday.

A caramel cake that was quite yummy!

I made pizza on Sunday!

White Clam Pizza on Neo-Neapolitan pizza dough is delicious!
