First Anniversary!

I can't believe that it has been a year since we were married. I feel like it was just yesterday that we were sitting in our private bungalow on our honeymoon in Thailand reminicing about the wedding...now we are sitting in our house reminicing about the wedding and dreaming about the future. It's funny how I want time to go by fast so I can get to the next thing but then I miss the moments that are passing. For example, I ultimately can't wait untill Baby Franco is here, I constantly dream about holding our baby in my arms...but there is so much that will happen before April 28th...Baby Franco's first kick, nesting, Thanksgiving, Christmas Vacation in Cali, my growing belly, my 27th birthday, New Years in Texas, finally having CPA at the end of my name, going through labor and delivery (AHHH), the list can go on and on...  Everyone always says not to rush things and they have a good point. Our lives are so busy, full of unfun things...work, school, study...important things, but so time consuming. So for our anniversary we didn't rush anything, and enjoyed a relaxing little getaway. We had a couples massage and pedicure, ate delicous food (stone crab craving satisfied), went to the movies and stayed for another, walked by a club and thought about going in, but instead went home to snuggle. I was surprised with a gorgeous bouquet of tropical flowers waiting in our hotel room and we even went window shopping for our new someday kitchen. It was perfect.

I've often heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest...if that's the case then I feel blessed. We went through a lot the past year with all the fertility issues, but it brought us so close and made our relationship stronger...it has made me value my pregnancy and every day I have to wake up and pinch myself. It wasn't always easy, but "it's us against the world". I'm so excited for our next year of marriage...by then we will have a 6th month old...our team is growing :0) God has been so good to us!
