One Year!



Last Monday was our ONE YEAR anniversary!  Can you guys believe it has already been one whole year!?  It doesn't seem like it has been that long, but when I look over our blog and see all of the things we have done this past year it seems more real.  So Jordan gave a talk in church on Sunday about talents, and embarrassed me like CrAzY!  (Now I'm glad we're switching wards, so only half the people will remember).  He wasn't trying to embarrass me, he was trying to be sweet, but man was it embarrassing!  So I think I should list some of his talents and the wonderful sweet things he does for me :)  I'm pretty sure these won't be embarrassing though, just reasons why  I'm grateful to have him as my eternal companion <3>
incredibly good looking; let's me pick out his clothes when we go shopping; eats the food I make (and really makes me believe he likes it, even if he doesn't); great sense of humor and very funny; loves doing the laundry - and is good at it; does the dishes for when I cook (and other times too of course); such a hard worker; always trying to learn - he would love to go to school forever and get degrees in every area possible; loves me SO much and always tells me that he does; he has great hair that I get to cut and he gets to clean up; intelligent; has an incredible testimony that is always strengthening my own; great at sports even when he hasn't played them in a long time; lucky - he wins so much stuff (I used to think it was because he would cheat, but no, he's just down-right lucky!); encourages me to pursue things I enjoy; great singing voice; comes up with great Family Home Evening lessons; organized; always takes the garbage out for me; very healthy; goal oriented; super sweet; tells me how beautiful I am each and ever day; selfless 99% of the time - serving others (including me of course) is one of his all time favorite things; watches chick-flicks with me without ever complaining; fulfills his church callings and assignments excels at any job he has; is the best husband in the entire world (for ME!!!)
Yup, I guess I'm pretty lucky too!  Well, maybe not lucky, I guess I'm just blessed!  So, one year down, and an eternity more to go . . . 
Well, on our anniversary Braden (Jordan's brother) came to visit us.  We went to Craigo's for dinner with Nate, Kelly and their two boys Tanner and Dallin.  Jordan got me some chocolates from Florences and a print of O Jerusalem by Greg Olsen (one of my favorites).  
Here are some pics from dinner . . .

And Dallin (he was sleeping so Nathan faced him toward the wall the whole time, poor Dallin!  jk)

I wasn't even thinking on your anniversary, we spent it with you and I didn't even acknowledge it. Sorry. I am a horrible sister-in-law. Congratulations! (a week later). They say the first year is the hardest, but sounds like it's been a piece of cake for you guys. So many good things to say about each other. Good for you guys! So, Jordan lets you pick out his clothes? No wonder he dresses so well. :)

Happy Anniversary guys! No longer newlyweds. And it sounds like you guys have had an aadventurous 1st year together! You are truly blessed to have one another.

A new blog is like a breath of fresh air to a parent. I'm glad to hear all of the things I taught Jordan and his brothers finally caught on.

Am I the only one wondering what Michaela's special talents are? Oh well, I'd have to agree with the summary on Jordan. He's a good kid.

dad said...

True. Jordan now has to post Michaela's traits. It's only fair.
