Wow, a whole year! It feels like just yesterday we were saying “I do,” but also like we’ve been together forever. Time really does fly when you’re having fun (and maybe occasionally arguing about whose turn it is to do the dishes!). Seriously though, this year has been incredible, filled with so much love, laughter, and amazing memories that I’ll cherish forever.

But let’s be honest, marriage isn’t always sunshine and roses, right? There were definitely moments of stress, tiredness, and figuring out how to navigate this whole “team” thing. Late-night talks about finances, debating paint colors that seemed to take forever, and learning to compromise (even when I *knew* I was right!). It can be hard work, but that’s part of what makes it so rewarding.
