A walk down memory lane

So, this time last year we were eating our weight in crawfish and having a grand time with lots of people that we love. I think that was one of the best crawfish boils/oyster sucks that I have ever been to, especially since J and I were the guests of honor (thanks, Joneses!). The butterflies were starting to flutter and the emotions were starting to rise. We had a really good rehearsal and were able to share the time with our closest family members and friends. On March 7, 2009, J and I became the next generation of the Jones family. It was one of the happiest days of my life. Everything (despite the flower shop, huh, Keith?) was perfect. The ceremony was beautiful, our family and friends were all present to support us, the food was delicious, and everything went off without a hitch. The highlight of the whole day, however, was the wonderful reception that we were able to share with our family and friends that night. No one knew that J had those mad dance skills. All of his grandparents said "I didn't know you could dance like that, especially with a chair. Elizabeth's a lucky girl!" HAHAHA. It was priceless. I wish there was someone out there with a video because it would win the grand prize on America's Funniest Home Videos. Anyway, after a wonderful day and a fantastic party, we embarked on the journey of our first year of marriage. What an exciting journey it has been! We have been to different countries for vacation, we have been all over the country to see our families, we increased the size of ours with our precious Beene girl, we revamped our jobs, we moved to another state, we survived the biggest snow storm in VA in the past 10 years, and we did it with mostly smiles. Everyone has always said the first year of marriage is the hardest, so I suppose that is now water under the bridge. I'm sure that we will have many many more happy years, maybe even a couple of rough ones, but no matter what, we have started something that can't be stopped! So, here's to us: Happy Anniversary!
