Meet-a-versary

Joe came home last night, swept me up in a hug and exclaimed "I am so stressed with my day but I come home to my sweetie and it all goes away!"

My heart totally swelled up with pride and love. He's so great. This last Friday marked our 1-year meet-a-versary. Meaning that its been one year since Joe and I met up for our first date at The Cheesecake Factory.

On Friday night I went to the Anberlin concert with Haley and Joe had to work so we celebrated on Saturday instead. We had dinner at our new favorite little sushi place (a little hole in the wall joint where the whole family works and helps out) and then headed over to grab slices of cheesecake to go. It was fun taking selfies in the parking lot and then on the bench where we first sat together on our first date. I remember we talked about our jobs and goals while we sat there waiting for our table buzzer to go off. And now here we are, one year later, married and setting up a cute little home with our puppy and planning for babies. Life is beautiful.
