It's our anniversary!!!






We have reached our one year mark. WohooO! We celebrated on Saturday the 14th even though it is really Sunday the 15th. We started off the day with a trip to the temple! It was a beautiful day here in SLC, there were tons of brides and grooms everywhere. It was fun to reminisce on our day one year ago. What an awesome year it has been and how it flies by. We then went out to dinner at this Japenese restaurant called Kyoto. It was a really fun experience and great food. At dinner I asked Braden what he has learned within the last year. His repsonse was, " I learned that women are smarter than men, women are cleaner than men and that I DO clean." Haha. I love his humor. We talked more about it and the list could go on forever. Here are just a few of the things I have learned about life, myself, Braden and marriage in the past year:
  • Patience beyond belief
  • Let it go
  • Laughing makes forgivness much easier
  • Take a step away and gather your thoughts when fighting
  • Have faith through every trial that we go through
  • Lasting memories don't cost money
  • If you are going to say sorry, mean it and know why
  • Take time everyday to have a valuable conversation
  • Selflessness is true happiness
  • Support each other through everything
  • Lastly, bills suck
Braden and I are so excited for what our future holds. Our first year has been so fun, but don't worry we have had our share of trials and hardships so far. But those have only made us a stronger couple!

Happy Anniversary! I am so glad you married my brother, we couldn't have asked for a better wife for Brady. Both my brothers have found great spouses and it makes me happy to know they are happy. Love you guys!

I remember your beautiful wedding day, my how time flys. You are so wise to list the things you have learned. (Charlie and I just celebrated 32 years on the 18th.) As you look back and remember how much your love for each other has grown this past year, just remember... it only gets better! Congratulations! Love you guys.
