YEAR ONE

Sunday was our happy, happy, happy, happy, happy 1-year anniversary! 

First of all, I still refuse to believe we've been married for a whole 12 months. Only the fastest year of my life. So crazy. Crazy like our crazy love for each other. Friday night we had dinner at the fancy schmancy restaurant we ate at our first day as a married couple. And, just like last year, I ate so much that I spent the rest of the evening pretty much nauseated. I love when I do that to myself. But sometimes so much good food is worth the belly ache afterward. This was one of those times. 

I'm sure you all already know this but I love saying it soooo...
this has been the happiest year of my life! And not just because marriage is great, because it is. But this kind of joy comes from love of self and love of Chas.

Here's to our first year together AND 
to day 1 of year 2!

You two are my favorite couple evah. I was almost jumping up and down at the gym when I saw a rerun of Chas on Saturday. I wanted to yell, "I'm related to him! He's awesome! His movie is awesome! His wife is awesome!" Instead I kind of got choked up when I thought about his movie and how much I love you guys.

The happiest I've been in my cooking/baking career? Making your cake. True story.

(p.s. word verification: adadman...it's a sign.)
