A little bit late...

So Ed and I celebrated our big 'One Year' Anninversary this last Saturday, and when I say celebrated I mean the way that a tired, overworked husband and a tired 8 month pregnant wife do it... Which was basically nothing. :)
However it was very interesting to sit and reflect together on all that we had been through in the past year, how it doesnt feel that long and how many exciting things we have coming for us in the future! The day started out fine... I was up at 8:30 to clean my house, then it was back to bed at 9:00 for a quick nap before conference, and yes my house is small enough that it only takes a half hour to clean. That and it wasnt so dirty seeing how we are barely ever home anymore. Conference was wonderful and so inspiring to listen to and just like every time I sit and listen to the Prophets speak I have a long list of new goals in life. Ed showed up around 12:00 from work... sadly with no flowers for his sweetheart, but DID have a lovely box of doughnuts from Tim Horton's which I must admit to all of you that I liked much much better for some reason :) Mainly, I love food. Flowers are nice to look at and smell great... but a warm, sticky Boston Cream seems to satisfy me so much more these days. After that the day passed rather lazily with the second session of conference and a few more naps stuck in afterwards. It wasnt until around 7:00 that night that we started to think of how we might "celebrate" our day. I give the credit to my husband for the brilliant idea of setting everything up for the baby. So there we sat, still in our PJ's putting together the bassinett, the stroller/carseat/shelves and all other things baby that we had bought but just stuck in his room to be set-up later on. Ed could not find our hammer to save his life but I desperately wanted to put together the shelf we had, so we improvised.. with the heel of one of Eds shoes :) At one point while hammering away with his make-shift hammer and me reading him the instructions which I was sure we were getting wrong...(stupid Ikea) he looked up at me and said "You know, it may not be much, but it will sure be an anniversary we never forget" I fell in love with him all over again. The day we prepared our home for our first addition to our small family. We didnt even get cards, or eat the traditional top of our wedding cake ( which was kind of sad because I really did want cake) but it was touching and a day, like he said... we will probably never forget.
I cant begin to tell you how blessed I feel to be able to live such a full and rewarding life. Despite the trials that come my way I am always, always shown how much love there is around me. I love my husband and I know he will be an incredible father. I cant wait to share a million more years with him building memories inside our home. Love you baby - Happy One Year!
