As I think back over this past year we have truly had some wonderful times. Just being married in itself is a fantastic feeling. Married love is different than any other kind of love...there is absolutely no end to it...you wake up everyday with a comfort of knowing what is.
I joke with Jim that he is literally my better half. When I am uneasy he is calm, when I am nervous he is at ease, when I am angry he is light-hearted. He is so easygoing and wonderful and I couldn't have asked for more.
Some hilights over our past year include:
- Honeymooning in Puerto Rico
- Going to my first concert...Rascal Flatts in October
- House Hunting
- Putting in an offer on our home...and having it accepted!
- Spending Christmas with all of our families!
- Braving a treterous drive in a snow storm...the first time Jim has probably ever seen me truly panicked, terrified, and absolutely scared to death...I could not stop crying.
- Spending New Years Eve as a married couple
- Closing on our house!!
- Packing up the first place we had together to move into our very own home.
- Having all of our family help us move.
- Making our first large purchase for the home together...new furniture.
- Starting a business...Hello Mandolin Photography
- Improving our house little by little
- Buying 2 new vehicles
- Dealing with a flooded basement
- Worrying about a flooding city
- Having our first big family gathering at our place...a total blast!!!!
- Taking a trip to Chicago
Happy Anniversary!!

Congratulations on your first beautiful year together! It is such a thrill for a mother to know that her precious daughter has found the perfect man to love her, care for her, and treat her the way she deserves to be treated. I am so glad that you and Jim have each other.
:o)
Love, Mom
Yay for you guys...you think the first year goes fast - I can tell you it only gets faster. I got your message last night - my phone was slightly lost (thanks to Kileigh) I will try and call you back today.
Congratulations Jim & Mandy! I agree with Mandy's senitments completely. And you two have the most wonderful realtionship. To be with both of you makes one feel wonderful itself!! I love you guys and am so proud to have Mandy as a member of our family and to have the wonderful son that I have. May the years to come be as wonderful (if not more) than the first.
Love,
Your Other Mom
