How We Celebrated

Our one year anniversary was on 7.7.13 and we celebrated exactly as we do - in quiet, at home.We had a four-day weekend because of the holiday. H went for the 1st anniversary sentiment of paper. He created a photobook of our wedding photos - something I had yet to do. It's beautiful. I cried looking through it.Our wedding was not just the happiest day because we spoke our love in front of our family and friends, but because it was proof that we are a team - that we could work together to achieve something so wonderful, to be experienced by everyone in our lives. That we could combine our intentions and talents and love and create bliss. He cooked the most delicious dinner of lemon chicken and rice. He ordered a cake like the one from our wedding - vanilla cake and frosting, with strawberry filling. We put our cake topper on it and used the Lenox cake set for good measure.He wrote me a heart-felt card. I wrote one back.I ordered us a map from the mad mapper on Etsy. It'll be of our neighborhood, of this apartment, where we came together as a family, where H proposed, our hub for wedding planning, and where we adopted Carter.And while the day wasn't a wild celebration of hotels, vacation, wine and adventure, it was us. Quiet, private, loving and reflective of our homelife.Just like our proposal, our wedding, our love... our one year was perfect.And if you feel like dancing with your honey... try our wedding song:[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3TWpWf798s]
