Day 338



If we are Facebook friends at all, you'll know by now that I have an 'official' countdown until our 1 year anniversary. There's something about looking forward to counting down the days to something that makes me smile. I do it all year with my birthday, Halloween, our dating anniversary (although I'll stop this year) and of course Christmas... but this countdown is different. It feels like we are going to surpass the first hurdle; the hurdle that everyone tells you "The First Year Is The Hardest". I have to say, this year was not necessarily "hard", rather challenging in its own way. We have been happier each and everyday. We discuss EVERYTHING and when we disagree, we figure it out. I guess you can say, the two of us have become adults in the past 338 days. We've learned to really build a bond with each other that nobody can break. We've become better about budgeting (I sure do not like that word) and sticking to it. I have to give us some credit, we've done good.

So what are the plans for the big day you ask? We have no idea. We've been contemplating on where to go. It's the week before Memorial Day, so things are a little pricey around this time. What we do know is, that we are eating our cake. Did we mention that we kept the top tier of the wedding cake? It's been in Chris' parents freezer at home. They are going to be so excited for us to get that thing out of there. Are we excited to eat it? SURE! Do we think it's going to taste good? NOPE! I'm going to order a mini cake just in case... hey, we do need to eat something ahhh-maazzzing to mark the special day.

Last weekend, we celebrated Passover (with my mom) and Easter with both sides of the family. This year was different than others. It felt very relaxed and non-stressed for all parties. Lots of candy and fun with the kiddo's but a little mishap with Adam. We won't go into specifics, but he broke his arm. Poor guy, at least he spent Easter with family and not at the hospital. Speaking of hospitals, Dad is doing very good! He's regaining his strength in his lungs day-by-day. We're very proud of him with the whole smoking thing. It's very tough to give the habit up, but he's about 3 months strong.

Here's a couple pictures of what you missed...

Chris is a great babysitter, as you can see.

Layla "found" Uncle Chris in the Easter Egg Hunt.

Almost there... just a few posts away. I'll be on the East Coast next week, Mother's Day is that following weekend, Layla's 4th birthday and then here we have it, our 1st anniversary. So much to blog about in the upcoming 4 weeks. Enjoy the rest of April Showers, it's time for May flowers!
