Exactly One Year Ago Today

I didn't want the day to go by without mentioning what happened exactly one year ago today.

Wes and I made the best and most important decision of our lives; to spend the rest of our lives together. Exactly one year ago today, Wes proposed. I was completely caught off gaurd and was SO excited and overjoyed. It was the best feeling knowing I was going to get to spend the rest of my life with such an amazing man. This time of year will always mean a lot to us simply because of this special event.

I will give a detailed post of our engagement story later but here's the short version. That night we had gone to dinner at Charleston's (first date), went ice skating for the first time, and had Starbuck's on the way home.It was when we got back home that Wes got down on one knee, right next to the Christmas tree and proposed.

Well, we had hoped to go ice skating again this year to remember that special night a year ago but mother nature didn't quite cooperate as well as last year. It was very cold tonight and raining. Yuck! So we cooked dinner at home and no ice skating. But we did make it to Starbuck's!



And I went ahead and let Wes open one of his Christmas gifts. It is supposed to be raining and freezing cold again tomorrow so I felt like he would need it at work tomorrow as he braves the elements, delivering mail. Here he is by the Christmas tree with his new, warm jacket vest. Merry Christmas honey!



Even though we didn't get to go ice skating, it was still great to spend time together and remember the night that I said "yes!" to the rest of our lives. One year later, we are married and couldn't be happier.
