Happy Anniversary

Well, I'm about a week late, but Ryan and I celebrated our year anniversary on Sunday.  It's hard to believe it has been a year.  It's been a good year too.  We have really learned a lot from each other.  We joined a church and a wonderful small group.  We got a dog!  And now we are looking to buy a house.  It's amazing what can happen in a year. 

Below are a few of my favorite pictures!  It was the perfect day!  I loved my flowers, I loved my dress, if I could I would wear my dress everyday.  I'm actually a little sad I don't get to wear it again!  We were surrounded by all of our family and friends.  The only down side of the day was that it rained ALL DAY LONG.  But I hear rain on your wedding day is good luck.  We sure didn't let it spoil our day!!

For our anniversary my parents sent us on a weekend trip to The Grove Park Inn.  We had a wonderful day at the spa and a great anniversary dinner at the Sunset Terrace.  Thanks Mom and Dad!!

War Eagle!!!!

I have anxiously been awaiting today!!  Only a few more hours and my beloved tigers will take the field in the National Championship game!! 

I'm starting to get very nervous, Oregon is a good team, but hopefully we are better!  There are so many reasons I want to win this game.  Many of those reasons can be found here!

With all the snow on the ground we have been stuck in the house today!  But I walked up to Kroger (we live across the street) to get a few tailgating essentials!  We are all set to cheer on the Tigers!!

Here are a few of my pictures from the 2010 season....

 Got to see my Tigers play in Starkville (a little family rivalry!)

Finally got Ryan in an Auburn shirt!!

Got to head down to Auburn to watch them play Georgia (again, a family rivalry)  

Recap

Since it's nice and cold outside and there is plenty of snow on the ground, we don't plan on going anywhere today.  It's the perfect day to catch up on blogging.

For our first Christmas together as a married couple, we had the "perfect" day.  We were able to join in my family's tradition of a holiday party on Christmas Eve followed by church with Ryan's family.  

The ornament my mom gave me this year!

Instead of spending the night with Ryan's family we opted to stay at our apartment to wake up together Christmas morning.  We opened a couple of gifts here but then headed to Marietta to join Ryan's family.  

We had a lovely breakfast together and then opened lots of gifts!  I got lots of Auburn stuff (since my team is playing for the National Championship ;)).  About lunchtime we took the long drive over to my parents house.  It was perfect timing because it had started to snow!!  We spent the rest of the afternoon playing games and watching movies.

Danielle's giant present! Turned out to be a new tv!

Ryan got Scotland Yard for Christmas.  He loves being Mr. X

 We eventually ventured out into the snow and Ryan and Wade made a snowman with the little boy next door.  It was a lot of fun.  The white Christmas will be hard to top!!

Dad had to dust off the propellers so Santa wouldn't crash!   Then Miles had to check Santa out!

Building a snowman

 

Sledding!  Miles didn't enjoy it too much!

For New Years we went down to Jacksonville for the Gator Bowl.  Ryan's parents were nice enough to purchase tickets for us for Christmas.  Ryan and I went down on New Years Eve.  We got up about 4am to make sure we got there in time for all the festivities.  Unfortunately it turned into a very long day and we did not make it to midnight (more like I did not make it to midnight).  I don't really care for New Years Eve though, I think it's a little overrated!  We had a great time at the game on New Years Day!  We had great seats and it was fun to see Mississippi State beat Michigan!

 

 

 

 

   

 

It's hard to believe Christmas and New Years have come and gone.  It's even harder to believe that we will be celebrating our first anniversary next weekend!
