One year.

Today, Corey and I celebrate one year of marriage. Its hard to believe it was one year ago that we said, “I do.” Its been such a busy, exciting year and I am so grateful to have the perfect person to share it with.

We enjoyed a perfect honeymoon in Hawaii on the islands of Oahu and Maui.

We returned home to New Jersey where I started a new job, which I absolutely loved, teaching 3rd grade.

Hurricane Sandy hit our home in Hoboken. The entire city, including our building, flooded eight feet. Many of our neighbors lost their homes and cars and so many of our favorite businesses and restaurants lost everything as well. We were so, so fortunate that we only lost the anniversary tier of our wedding cake. Thank goodness for our apartment being on the seventh floor.

I celebrated my first Christmas ever away from my parents.

We escaped the cold, cold winter and had a great vacation in Florida with Corey’s parents at their new home.

Corey was offered a new job in Charlotte. It was a dream come true to be able to move closer to my family but many, many tears were shed when I resigned from my school in New Jersey.

We both started new jobs in Charlotte and got settled into our new apartment. Riley loves spending more time outside and gets to play on the grass every day and we’re enjoying the slower pace and lower bills!

We purchased our first home. (More to come on this soon, I promise!)

The other day after we had a meeting about cabinets and floors and such, Corey said something about what an established little family we were – having been married for almost a year, raised a sweet dog, and bought our first home. This is so true and its kind of crazy to think about how we went from being a couple to a family over the past year. Someone once told me that on your wedding day is the least in love with your husband you’ll ever be.

This seemed totally nuts to me at the time but I think its actually true after all. I fall more and more in
love with Corey every single day and can’t wait to celebrate many more anniversaries.
