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!

"The best things in life aren't things." -- Art Buchwald
I will never forget the day that I saw this quote on a bumper sticker. It is amazing how such a short quote can be so profound, but it has always stuck in my mind.
Materialism is running rampant in our world. This is nothing new. Materialism has been around for ages. After 28 years of living, I am starting to get really tired of hearing about things!
Just like I am making a conscious effort not to be egocentric, like those that disgust me by being so. I am also trying to be conscious of not taking what I have for granted. I do not require much and I do not need things to make me happy.
In comparison to other couples our age, Jon and I are slumming it. LOL! We live in a modest apartment and are not that concerned with decor.
Jon and I have had to work really hard to get where we are in life. We are just so content with being married and being together that this is all that really matters to us. We have finally made it to our life together and we couldn't be happier.
Painted walls, matching living room sets, HD TV's, etc. are just not that important to us. This is NOT the foundation of our marriage and our life together. While all of the above are nice things to possess, they can wait.
Maybe that is it! Most people want it all now. Society most definitely tells them that they need it all now, because everyone else has it all.
Jon and I have each other and that is all that we need. Everything else will take care of itself!

Tomorrow I turn 28...
It's hard to believe. I am not very happy about having to go to work. Being born in July, I never had to go to school on my birthday. I guess I am spoiled. At least I don't have to work until 8:00 PM this year.
I am ready for the trip to Virginia. I am so ready to go on the road!
No news on Sylvia or my broken BlackBerry. I am hoping that my truck will be fixed by Friday. I should have gotten my phone today, but maybe it will come tomorrow. I haven't been home to check the mail.
A few things have happened in my 27th year. The biggest event was getting married. The happiest day of my life!

Introduction: A New Blog, A New Chapter
I decided that I would start a new blog, since I have started a new chapter in my life. I am now a married woman. I am leaving the name Fontenot behind and taking my husband's last name, Mitchell.
This blog will focus on my married life with my husband, Jon. We will share our joys, adventures, and news with our friends and readers. I will be the one posting, since Jon is not much of a blogger.
We hope that you will enjoy reading our blog and hope it will help you keep in touch with us. We hope to hear from all of our reader-friends real soon!
