When I said, “I do” to Anderson one year ago I had no idea what the months following would entail. I was sufficiently warned that the first year is the hardest and prepared myself for disagreements over all the hot topics. You know: money, work, sex, communication, what to make for dinner, whether or not we should buy a dog, etc. 🙂 But I’m so thankful that I can honestly say it was much easier than I expected. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had our share of arguments, I mean lively discussions! What else can you expect with two highly-opinionated people living under the same roof?! But I couldn’t have imagined a happier, more joyful experience than this year. Our FIRST year!
We celebrated in Orlando over the weekend. We’re horrible at taking self portraits. It always makes me laugh!

Trying to put our Ikea purchases in the Mini Cooper. He did it too! Everyone was staring as we pulled into the loading area with that tiny car. 🙂

My mom is simply the coolest mom ever. She had this little mini replica made of our wedding cake. We were really excited about eating the top tier of our cake on our anniversary, but she was worried that it would be gross. She was right. This cake was much tastier than the original!
Congrats! We had our one year in February. I'm thinking year #2 will be better! How about you?!
you two are so stinkin' cute!!! looks like you had a fun weekend! congratulations on your first year!!
AWE lynds, congrats happy 1 year!! Mine and Michaels 2 year anniv. is May 30, I cant wait!
It has been the greatest journey I have ever ventured though, I love my love and I love being married to him. 🙂
Good thinking Mrs. Hyatt on getting the fresh cake, we did the same, my frozen one was yuck! 🙂

Congrats you two!! I'm coming up on my one year in 3 weeks and we planned to go to Orlando but we're going camping instead because we are crazy! That cake is too cool! We got married in Vegas so we didn't have a cake, I might have to actually make us one to eat for our anniversary. haha
Happy anniversary you guys!
Love the cake 🙂
I love the mini cake… Our top tier from the wedding was well… A little stale tasting. Nick and I went to Orlando for our one year anniversary too and IKEA was A must. We really need one in JAX.. XOXO
I LOVE that card! I laughed out loud when I saw that 🙂 Hope you guys have MANY many more wonderful years to come!
Precious pictures…precious couple
thank you all so much for the sweet messages!
Whoever said year one is the hardest is a LIAR! Year one is amazing. You still think that he is handsome and rugged. He still thinks you are beautiful without makeup and all your quirks are cute. Be prepared for year 7…you are both getting old and all of the quirks are really annoying! But luckily by then you are each others right arm. You wouldn't know what to do without each other. Good luck on many many years to come.
haha! thanks tracy. i’m already over the quirks. maybe that’s a good sign of realistic expectations?!
