and secondly...Happy 1st Anniversary to me and Caleb! (It is so cool that we share the same anniversary date as my parents. I love that!)
Even though Caleb and I are over 7,000 miles apart, he sure knows how to make me feel loved from afar! I was joyously overwhelmed by all the wonderful wishes and sweet messages from friends and family throughout the day. It is so nice to know that our marriage is supported by so much love and so many prayers. It really makes a difference to know that we have great family and friends by our side who are always there for us.
Angel was going crazy from all the delivery men that kept knocking on our door this morning! Caleb surprised me with very special gifts to make this special day amazing.
24 beautiful roses
and a beautiful new watch!
He sure knows how to spoil me!!! =) His greatest gift to me was a letter he wrote that I received last Friday (but did not read til today. I had specific instructions not to open it until our anniversary!). Caleb really does have a way with words. It brought tears to my eyes and I have read it over and over throughout this whole day.
We were also very blessed to be able to talk for over an hour this afternoon. We had such a great conversation on Skype and it was wonderful to feel so close to each other across the miles, to pray together, and celebrate this past year together as husband and wife.
This year has flown by so quickly and I have to say that contrary to popular belief, our 1st year together was absolutely amazing. It is so great to be able to be with your best friend day-in and day-out and to love them more with each passing day. True (agape) love rocks!
We know the conversation will end when we start making funny faces at each other! haha
We were sad we couldn't physically kiss each other today, so we put our heads together (haha), and came up with this!
This was so fun to do. It took us about 15 minutes to try to find the perfect angle, and after many attempts and our cheeks hurting from laughing so much, we finally got a good one!
I had a wonderful day with friends as well. My two friends, Lucy and Jen and I went to Zumba while Angel enjoyed a long and fast run with Lucy's husband. Angel is on medication right now, Clomicalm, to help her deal with her separation anxiety. We're trying it out and praying that it will help her mental state when we leave her by herself. I'm also praying that she'll be okay for the 2 weeks I'll be in San Diego as she will be boarded up in a kennel. Hopefully, the medication will kick in by next week when I have to leave!
Again, thank you all for being so special to us and for always being there to support us throughout this year. We love and appreciate you!
XOXO
