I want to thank everyone who sent us a sweet anniversary card! It was so fun to come home from our trip and have TONS of mail. We feel so important  :)  You always hear that the first year is the hardest, but Mike and I did discuss this point and well, we had lots of fun and it ranked really low in terms of hard.  

I mean, don't get me wrong, we did fight over random non-important, trivial issues such as how much gas costs up on the corner (we don't even buy gas there!) or if we're out of hot sauce or not.  But we laughed a lot this year, took a few fun trips and even started a family (meaning the DOG!).  I can't wait to see what the second year brings our way!

In other even more redundant news, we are getting a new dishwasher and I am so flipping excited.  (See, this is how I know that I am getting old because I am excited over a kitchen appliance).  As the youngest in the family, I can recount times seeing my mom or older sisters being excited about new kitchen appliances or a sofa and thinking "geez, they are so old, who cares about a new coffee maker?"  Well, I guess that's me!  But seriously, we have been hand washing our dishes since we got married (hmm, another one of the "silly fight" instigators) and hand washing dishes is sooo 1987!  Therefore, Whitney=excited!

Happy Hump Day!
