One Year Anniversary!!!

Can I honestly say that I have been married to the love of my life one year ago today???! It blows my mind to know how fast this year has gone by. Time really does fly when you are having fun. :) Instead of the usual update, I would like to share some interesting and fun facts about our first year of marriage.






Here is what we have learned about each other that we didn't know a year ago:

What Collin has learned about me:
-Doing the dishes is my least favorite chore.
-I have a tendency to leave the lights on.
-I am NOT a morning person.  
-I like to sleep on my left side.
-I get embarrassed if people come into our apartment and it's messy.
-I am a very crafty person. 

What I learned about Collin:
-He doesn't like to clean the bathroom
-He can fall asleep really fast. One minute I'm brushing my teeth, the next minute, he's out!
-He can eat a lot (and might I add, super fast!)
-He has a tendency to leave the cabinet doors open.
-He is very creative when it comes to cooking.
-He NEVER uses the dishwasher! He always washes dishes by hand.
-He listens to everything that I have to say.
-He is a kid at heart. He still watches Saturday morning cartoons and, of course, invites me to join him. :)
-He is Christ-like and has so much knowledge of the gospel.
-I can always turn to him for good advice.
-He is completely selfless and wants nothing more than for me to be happy. :)

Our happiest moments together: There's so many! Here are our top five:
-Our wedding day. Truly the happiest moment of our lives.

-Everyday when we are together. :)

Movies we both love watching together:
-Megamind, Peter Pan, Tangled and The Sword in the Stone

Favorite TV shows we've watched together:
-Doctor Who, Psych, Modern Family, and Avatar: The Last Airbender

Favorite thing to do as a couple:
-Collin likes to play cards with me. We challenge each other everyday to see who does the dishes.
-I like watching movies and laughing with him. :)

Our goals and dreams:
-Collin wants to graduate from BYU in 2015. He also wants to get a job with his information technology major. 
-I want to start a family someday and maybe pursue a teaching career.
-We both want to buy a nice house that we can settle down in. 

I am truly in love with my best friend. We've been through so much together and have grown even closer as a couple. We are both complete nerds and have fun saying random things to each other. I've always loved how I can totally be myself around him. He loves me despite the fact that I can be quirky and weird. Everyday, I fall more and more in love with Collin. He is so hardworking and caring. I can honestly say that he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I still can't believe that out of all the girls that lined up at his door, he picked me to be his eternal companion. He is truly my other half, the apple of my eye, and any other cheesy love line you can think of. :) He has taught me that love is not only about kisses in the sunset and a candlelit dinner, it's about being happy and sacrificing your time to be with your spouse. I feel so blessed to know that he is a big part of my life. I couldn't have asked for a better forever. It's been a wonderful year and I look forward to more years to come.
