Anniversary Year 1

I cannot believe it is already a week into June! 

This year feels like it has completely flown by. For those of you that don’t know, Josh and I got married on June 20^th of last year so we are getting close to our one-year anniversary.

Since typical milestone events (birthday’s and holidays) have been taking a back burner this year due to our crazy schedule and fluctuating finances, we have committed to making our anniversary special.

So after a little bit of going back and forth on the topic we have decided our anniversary will be a 2-part celebration.

Because the first anniversary is traditionally the “paper” anniversary, our plan is to book an event of some sort for later this summer or early in the fall. This may be a spa weekend, show in the city, or something else that gets us out of the apartment and trying something new and would come with a paper receipt or ticket. And we are booking it further out because we have our new puppy we don’t want to leave.

The second part will be the immediate celebration. The plan is to get dinner reservations at one of the fancier restaurants in a nearby town and treat ourselves to a wonderful dinner out where someone else will cook and clean.

What makes celebrating this anniversary special is the fact that Josh is totally into it. He is putting in serious effort to not be one of those husbands that “forgets.” He actually is the one who got the planning started, which is amazing since he is not the planner in our relationship.

I am so looking forward to celebrating our first anniversary and cannot wait to get started on year number 2!
