Wow...... time is flying!!!!!!!!! I can't believe this time last year Dave and I were frantically packing to leave for Hawaii-not even engaged. Some say the first year is the hardest and if that is true then I am pretty excited to see how amazing the next 50 are because I think this one was pretty great! It has been a year of challenges, distance, laughter, tears, excitement, adventure but most of all LOVE! I realize everyday how lucky I am to be married to such a wonderful man and that will never change, no matter how many years pass.

Our anniversary is Friday but I am a complete sucker and gave Dave his present today. He does not help the cause because when I asked if he wanted his present early he said "It is close enough." We are going to Cookwares, a cooking store near our house, to take a class taught by an Indian chef on how to cook Indian food. Dave loves to eat Indian and I do not so I thought it might be fun for us to learn how to make so he can have some Indian meals at home. I did save his card for our actual anniversary. Today Dave told me we are going to go to Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse for dinner on Friday. About 5 years ago when Dave lived with my sister we challenged each other to a game of Paperboy on the Nintendo and I won the challenge. The bet was that if I won he would take me on a date to Jeff Ruby's and he never did! So over 5 years later we are finally going on our Jeff Ruby's date : ) He is hoping to get the day off work so we can spend the whole day together.
Speaking of work Dave got a new position at work! He is now the Chief of Pharmacy Operations and will be starting his training this week. He also found out he will be getting promoted to Major in December. I am very proud of him!
This weekend we went up to the lake to visit with my family for Mother's Day. It was so nice to spend time with everybody and to get to spend Mother's day with my Mom, Grandma, Aunt and Sister-all of who are amazing mothers or will be soon : )
Dave and I also went to Home Depot to get some grass seed and fertilizer and a new swing for the back deck. Our yard is looking very green thanks to all of this rain! I actually am starting to like going to Home Depot-funny how things change when you have a a house of your own. We spent the evening putting the swing together, grilling out and then finished up with a beer in the hot tub. I can't think of a better way to wrap up the weekend and get ready for the next week.

A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year. -Paul Sweeney
