Mr.B and I meet back home in North Carolina and became friends for a good while before we started dating. We meet through mutual friends and the missionaries out of all people which is funny because I never spoke to those missionaries over that ward. I planned on going on a mission way before we started hanging out and dating. We ended up dating and I received my mission call to San Jose, California and left for my mission in April of 2011 while Mr.B was off at school in Nebraska. We wrote back and forth for a good while until I felt the need to come home and marry my now husband. We got married on May 12th,2012 and a year later we are here in Idaho waiting for Dan to finish school, me to start some of my schooling and then see where our next adventure takes us. Now that the little history lesson is over for how we meet and what we kinda went through before we got married lets move on.
This past year we have done many things and learned many things about each other. We spent our honeymoon in Cozumel, Mexico. We traveled to Salt Lake City,Utah this past year for the lights on temple square which neither of us had ever seen but we both enjoyed it. We saw all the lights listened to Christmas music in the pretty buildings on temple square. We shared a Rocky Mountain Chocolate apple which is one of my favorite things but we don't have one here in Idaho. We also visited St. Louis over our first summer being married as we worked there for a dish/direct company. While working there over the summer we visited the St. Louis Arch as well as the St. Louis Zoo which we loved so much. We plan to go many other places here and there while we grow with each other and grow in our marriage.We also had the privilege of going on a cruise with my family to the Caribbean where we traveled to many sites and spent time with family and just had a great time.
As for what we have learned while being married I feel we have learned to compromise and learn where we stand on things and where we have to grow still as we will forever be growing together. We have learned that through trails we can get though anything together as long as we can help one another. As I lost my job at one point Mr.B helped me through it like a champ and continues to help me through all the trails and hard times I go though and I am grateful to see his strength to hold me strong. Mr.B is my rock and he shows me how hard work and dedication pays off with all the work he does with school and being a husband and I guess in a way a father to our dog Lexy. It's crazy to see how much we have grown as a couple to see how much we have grown together and learned from each other but we continue to learn each and everyday about one another and how we can improve on all things and be better in all ways.
Dan and I both had to work on our date to celebrate our anniversary so we had to make it the best we could. I went and got us a table at an Italian place and waited for Mr.B to get there before we started to order. Once he got there it was a little late and we had a good time ate and laughed. Once we finished eating it was a little to late fr a movie so we headed to target for some fun just walking around as we made fun of things in the store. Just like we used to do when we were dating. We headed home and called it in for the night. I walked into the apartment to find some of the most delicious chocolate covered strawberries I have ever tasted and a bouquet of sunflowers (which are my fave). I gave him his ring which I got engraved for him which says inside "can I keep you" 5/12/12 which is something he said to me while we were dating and our wedding date engraved. I also got him a photo of our wedding song with one of our wedding pictures on it. It was pretty epic. It was a long day but we did our best to make it our anniversary day even when we both had to work.
Mr. & Mrs. B out
