One wonderful year

On Monday, April 28th, Derrick and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary. It's so wonderful being married to my best friend. It's hard for me to really put the why into words. I love that he's considerate, dependable, loving, patient, forgiving, hard working, tons of fun, creative, spontaneous, intelligent, good with money, great at communicating, has a great sense of humor, and honors his Priesthood. The list goes on. I love getting to spend time with him everyday. We have fun together whether we're doing the laundry or playing in Hawaii. One of our goals has been to read the scriptures together everyday and so far we have a perfect record. He is definitely the perfect match for me. I'm so grateful that we get to be together forever.

We didn't do anything fancy to celebrate our anniversary since we're currently on a college income. We did get to spend most of the day together and made a fancy dinner. We cooked filet mignon, baked potatoes, shrimp (for Derrick), zucchini, apples, juice. For dessert I made strawberry shortcake from scratch. It all tasted so good. We pulled out the candles and place mats for fun.

Year two of our marriage will definitely be a big adventure since two will become three. Derrick will make a great dad and it makes me so happy that he is looking forward to becoming one. I'm excited to work with him to raise our little boy. I love you Derrick!!!
