1 year anniversary

Sunday was our one year anniversary!  I cannot believe it has already been a year of marriage.  It has been a great first year.  I do feel like it was a some what of a hard first year too.  I have been trying to go from Miss Independent to a Dependent married woman.  Fortunately, I am learning that it does not mean that I have to become completely incompetent.  I am still working on the dependency thing but it has been a wonderful year with Sean and I seriously cannot live my life without him.  God sent me the best man.  He is truly my better half (Sean, don't let this go to your head). 

So our original plans for our 1 yr getaway was to go back to Bama for a wedding, UA v LSU (ROLL TIDE!), and see friends and family.  We ended up not going home due to lack of funds (trying to pay off bills).  So, we just had a low-key weekend to ourselves.  It VERY needed and we loved every lazy second of it.  Friday night we went to dinner at Carrabba's.  It was a great meal and the best part of that night was an engagement!  An elderly couple sitting across the restaurant got engaged!  Love does not die after a certain age.  It was beautiful and they looked so happy.

Saturday,  we went to the fair!  I was so excited because I have not been to the fair since I was a kid.  We had a great time!  There was a petting zoo, games, food, and all of the regular things you would see at the fair.  Here are some pictures from the fair.

 

There was a section of different animals from the around the world.  It was pretty incredible.  They had a tiger, a bobcat, lemurs, parrots, monkeys, and more.

A silver fox that is so pretty!

The biggest porcupine I have ever seen.

Here are the petting zoo pictures:

The goats loved the people that they would jump on the gate.

               

The best parts of the fair: funnel cakes for me & fried oreos for Sean.  We were happy to have these items & very thankful we do not eat these often.  HA!

Do you recognize what movie this picture is from?

The last music scene in Grease!

Sean got me something cheesy... A hat that says "Sean's Girl." I did pick out the hat and saying.

On Sunday, we went out to lunch and then had ice cream for dessert!  We did eat our top layer cake since we moved and that didn't even last us a whole year!  We actually ate some of our cake a month after we were married.  We did not get to really eat any of our cake on our wedding day so we decided to break the tradition!

Since we got married, I have been wanting to have our vows written out & framed by our bed. So for our one year we decided to get a flat canvas, paint it a little bit, & write out our vows on them. I did mess up on mine a little bit because I am easily distracted but they turned out great over all! I can't wait to buy some frames for them to hang on our wall. Right now they are propped on top of our headboard. 

We want to thank everyone who wished us a great anniversary! We had a great anniversary and we are thrilled to spend another year together as one.
