1 Year Anniversary

I can't believe Jesse and I have been married a year already! Time definitely flies. I'm sure the year went by so fast because I was pregnant for most of it (womp womp) but it was such an incredible year! When I look at the pictures of all of the things we've done, it makes me feel so happy! Our anniversary fell on Memorial Day (awesome), but Jesse was still on the boat, so I spent the day with Fletcher and Nichole. Fletcher and I hung out most of the morning and took pictures together (one of our favorite things to do).

For lunch, we went out for sushi with Nichole, and then headed over to Extraordinary Desserts for a yummy treat. I LOVE this dessert place. I love dessert, period, but this place is just incredible. You walk in, and they have about 10 different options to choose from, and they change daily. They also make the most amazing coffee, so I had some of that too :) They also have beautiful outdoor seating, and Nichole and I sat out there for about three hours just relaxing and chatting.

Fletcher and I went for a long walk when we got home from dessert, and then it was time for bed. He was being really fussy so I kept having to go into his room to comfort him (I give him three minutes of crying, and then I go in). After some gripe water, he finally started to settle down so I laid on my bed next to the monitor just to make sure he was actually going to go to sleep, before I started cleaning up and making myself dinner. I must have dozed off because I woke up to noises coming from the garage. I was trying not to be scared but my heart was racing and I couldn't decide if I wanted to grab Fletcher or scope it out first. I also couldn't remember where I had put my phone. However, when I opened the garage door, SURPRISE!, there was Jesse! I thought it was so cool that he surprised me and came home early, but then I found my phone and realized he had been trying to get in touch with me to come pick him up from North Island. oops!

We spent the rest of the night catching up from all of the things that happened while he was away. It's amazing how much more chatty I am with Jesse, now that I don't go to work and talk to adults all day long. I guess I just have a lot to say after spending all day with a baby :) We also got to open our first anniversary card! Everyone at my bridal shower wrote cards to us to open up each year. I'm the kind of person who likes instant gratification, so I typically open gifts early, peek at my Christmas presents, etc. I was pretty impressed with myself for not opening every single card the second we got back from our wedding. And I'm so glad I didn't! Our first card was from Lindsey, and reading it was such a fun and special surprise!

It was a GREAT anniversary!
