Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Anniversary!

Sunday was our first wedding anniversary! HOORAY!

We weren't planning to do anything special, maybe stop at one of our favorite restaurants, hit up the Art and Architecture show at the fairgrounds, sleep in...

But midweek last week Aaron decided he needed some time away. Away from our dogs, our house, our normal every day lives.

On short notice, there's not much "away" one can do... but we made a quick little trip up to Chicago for the weekend. We left Saturday morning and came home Sunday night.

We did a little shopping, a little napping, a little eating... okay, a LOT of eating. You can't go to Chicago and not EAT.

It was a really nice weekend. We got to be romantic and silly and just relax.

Here's to year 2. May it be better than the last... which was REALLY awesome and will be hard to beat!

Who Knew

Married life is awesome.

That is all.

Newlyweds!

It's been about 2 weeks since we got married, and let me tell you - it's better than I ever imagined.

I thought after dating for almost 4 years that nothing would change after we were married. The wedding itself was a ton of fun without a lot of stress, but I didn't feel any different after the fact. I don't really feel that crazy weight I expected. Rather, I feel like our relationship has been re-energized.

There's no good rhyme or reason, but I feel like I love Aaron even more since the wedding. Maybe it's that I'm finally free to give every last sliver of my heart to him... that we both made the ultimate commitment to our relationship and our future.

Last week I went back to work, and I missed him like crazy. 4 years of this traveling thing and our routine is pretty set - but man, I MISSED him. I was so bummed that my flight was delayed!

It's frikkin awesome being married.
