One Year Down, Forever to Go!




Today marks one year that I married the love of my life and my best-friend! I can't believe it's gone by so quickly! To say that this year has been one of the best years of my life is an understatement, but no words would adequately describe the amount of happiness and honor I have in being married to my husband. 

I was going to talk about our wedding, and how much of a special time that was for us, but after writing out the post I realized that's not what I wanted to talk about, or what our one year anniversary should be about. 

Then I was going to talk about how amazing my husband was and how much I had grown as a person in the time that we had been married... but then I realized I didn't really want to talk about that either.

What I want to talk about, is the simple fact that I am absolutely, head over heels still in love with my husband, even after almost six years of dating, and one year of marriage. I still look over at him every night while sitting on the couch reading or watching television and think "I'm the luckiest person on the planet to have married my best-friend. There's no way anyone could be this happy or blessed." 



Except we are. We are so blessed and continue to be blessed every single day of our marriage. Sure, there's times where we want to probably shove the other person through a brick wall, and I would be lying if I said this year was without it's bumps or dips, but at the end of it all, I know the man standing beside me is the one I want standing there forever. That he is my other half that I never even knew I needed until we met.

And (hopefully) in a few days or a week, we'll be celebrating the birth of our amazing, beautiful daughter. Yeah, we've definitely been blessed.

The One Where I Got Married...

It's been so long since I've put up any reviews! And I'm sorry, but I promise, I have a really good reason! This past December my long term awesome boyfriend finally asked me to marry him!

Anyway, we I decided (being the most impatient person in the world) that I wanted to get married on March 15...  which was in roughly two months and some change  Surely, I could plan a wedding in that time! It would be a piece of cake! Why would anyone need a year to plan for a wedding?! If any of you have ever planned a wedding, you're probably laughing right now at how naive I was.

Turned out, wedding planning was a lot more to take on than what I had originally thought. But with the help of my awesome family and friends (especially my Maid of Honor and bridesmaids), I was able to get through it with my sanity... mostly!

But now things are finally settling back down to normal and I can come back to recommending amazing books and doing reviews! 

In the mean time though, here's some fun pictures from the big event!


Our wedding cake and the topper inspired by Doctor Who!

Right before my MOH talked me out of running away to Mexico! Bahah Kidding! Kidding! Love this lady <3 p="">






This is Jessa and Ashley! The first time I actually got to "meet" them in person! We found each other on Goodreads a few years ago with our other awesome GReeps! Super fantastic ladies and so adorable together!







I won't bore you with anymore pictures! The only thing you need to know was that it was bookish, and epic, and one of the happiest days of my life :)

Hope you guys all have a happy Easter!
